Now that Part 107 is live I thought it could be a good thing to gather some data on the waiver process and how long the approvals are taking. The form instructions (
here) say that it can take up to 90 days for approval. However, I have heard on another forum that Airspace requests have been approved much faster (some say around 24 hours).
For those that don't know, the website to submit a request for waiver/airspace authorization is
HERE.
As you receive responses on your waiver I think we would all appreciate it if you provided some basic information on your request, how long it took to get a response and if it was approved or rejected. It doesn't have to be much information, just something simple like:
Requested on: September 1st
Requested waiver for: 107.29 Daylight operations
or
Requested waiver for certain airspace (please list the Class Airspace that you requested)
Received response on:
Approved: Y/N
