Valmie (VMRI) Comments on AUVSI Recommendations for Industry-Wide Best Practices

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / July 23, 2015 / Gerald B. Hammack, President of Valmie Resources Inc. (OTCMKTS: VMRI) today commented on the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems’ (AUVSI) recommendations for industry-wide best practices for small drones in the commercial sector throughout the National Airspace System.

“AUVSI’s recommendations mirror a worldwide trend that has been demonstrated in countries with established and robust commercial drone enterprises,” said Hammack. “AUVSI teamed up with technical and industry leaders to develop the recommendations, which ensure implementation of safe and efficient operations and a more adaptable working environment. The implementation of these proposed rules will encourage innovations and lead to improvement and benefits in many other sectors.”

In response to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) notice of proposed rulemaking in February, AUVSI called for a “risk-based, technology-neutral approach” to the use of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) – defined as aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds. It calls for a more flexible operating environment, including nighttime, beyond line-of-sight and multiple UAV flights.

This approach would allow for aerial surveys above rural farmland, flare stack and bridge inspections, assessment of damage following natural disasters, and other uses that save lives and keep people out of dangerous areas. Under this scenario, operators and manufacturers could use a variety of technologies and best practices to meet necessary safety requirements instead of being forced to employ mandated technologies.

Among other recommendations, this method would require the FAA to review a number of aspects in a UAV operation to establish the operation’s risk value. If the risk value is determined to be below an acceptable limit, it would be considered as safe, regardless of the specific technology used.

“AUVSI’s proposed framework will prevent the stunting of this growing sector in the U.S. Non-line-of-sight and nighttime operations will usher in a giant stride for this emerging industry,” said Hammack.
