Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2021-0746.
    Petitioner: Insitu, Inc.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec.  61.3(a)(1)(i).

[[Page 55105]]

    Description of Relief Sought: Insitu, Inc. proposes to operate the 
ScanEagle3, a fixed-wing unmanned aircraft system (UAS), with a maximum 
takeoff weight of 85 pounds (lbs.), for Durability & Reliability flight 
test hours to show compliance towards type certification in the United 
States. Relief is requested from the requirement that a person acting 
as a required flight crewmember or a pilot of a civil aircraft must 
hold a pilot certificate issued under part 61. Insitu proposes the use 
of remote certificated pilots who have undergone platform-specific 
training based on part 61, rather than part 61 certificated pilots, 
during the controlled flight test operations within a FAA UAS test 
site, over low population density areas, operating with a special 
airworthiness certificate in the experimental category and a civil 
Certificate of Waiver or Authorization.
