In order to get the exemption, the FAA required the following of Industrial Skyworks:
• The pilot in command had to possess a commercial or private pilot certification that allowed night operations;
• The pilot needed a medical certificate per 14 C.F.R. part 67; and
• The drone had to remain in the pilot’s and visual observer’s line of sight at all times.
Industrial Skyworks bolstered its case by taking these steps to ensure the drone’s safe operation at night.
• It would be launched from an illuminated landing and take-off area and equipped to continually alert the pilot of its location and altitude.
• It possessed anti-collision lights visible from 5,000 feet.
