Indoor drone solution provider Flyability has announced the release of a new version of its Elios 3 drone. This updated model is in full compliance with FAA regulations regarding UAS Remote Identification. The final rule on Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft on the Federal Register requires that all drone pilots required to register their UAS per FAA requirements must also begin to operate their aircraft in accordance with the Remote ID ruling by September 16, 2023. Last year, building compliant drones became a requirement for manufacturers.

Flyability’s products are primarily designed for indoor use, an area not covered by FAA regulation. As a temporary solution to this issue, the company began manufacturing drones that were restricted to indoor use.

The release of the Elios 3 has majorly increased the use cases for Flyability’s drones, several of which now see outdoor use for applications including inspection and mapping of pipe racks offshore and on land, radiation surveying of radioactive waste structures, or inspection of bridges and culverts.

In order to allow its users to benefit from the full potential of its technology, Flyability is releasing the Elios 3 RID, designed to meet all requirements established in the FAA’s Remote ID ruling. The company collaborated with top experts and the FAA to guarantee that complying with the regulation would have no negative effects on the operation of the device in areas without GPS.

“While our drones have typically been used indoors, the Elios 3 has many unique features that mean many want to use it outside too,” said Alexandre Meldem, Managing Director of the Americas. “So we’re excited to start shipping the Elios 3 RID to see what new applications our customers will find for it in the great outdoors.”
