    NOTE: A university UAS permit is specific to PIC, aircraft, location, dates\/times, and flight purposes indicated in the application. Researchers and public safety personnel (police, fire, EMS, emergency management) may apply for a blanket Annual Permit. All other members of the university community may request a flight permit covering multiple flights over a longer period of time (up to a year) for the same PIC, aircraft, location(s) and purpose. Vendors and third-party UAS operators may only request flight permits on a per-flight basis. UAS flight operations conducted for a different purpose, timeframe, or location other than that specified in the original permit will require either a new permit application or an amendment to the existing one.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
