Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about our unmanned aviation operations, regulatory approach, and how we support healthcare, OEM, and next-generation flight programs.
Most drone companies are technology-first. Causey Aviation Unmanned is aviation-first. Our operations inherit decades of manned aviation experience, professional facilities, and deep regulatory knowledge. This allows us to operate safely in complex airspace, scale programs responsibly, and support mission-critical use cases such as healthcare logistics and aircraft testing.
Yes. Causey Aviation Unmanned is one of the first UAS Air Carriers in the United States, operating unmanned aircraft within FAA-integrated programs and regulatory frameworks.
Causey Aviation Unmanned operates with a formal aviation governance structure modeled after manned flight operations. As one of the first U.S. UAS Air Carriers, our programs are built around FAA-aligned operational approvals, documented procedures, structured oversight, and defined accountability. We approach unmanned operations as an aviation system—not just aircraft flights.
We work closely with the Federal Aviation Administration, including participation in the FAA BEYOND Program. This experience provides direct familiarity with regulatory expectations, integration pathways, and operational compliance standards within the National Airspace System.
Yes. All operations are conducted under structured Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) modeled after traditional aviation practices. These include mission planning, risk assessment, crew responsibilities, communication protocols, emergency procedures, and post-flight documentation.
Our SOPs are designed for repeatability, safety, and auditability.
Causey Aviation Unmanned operates within FAA regulatory frameworks applicable to UAS Air Carriers and advanced integration programs. Specific approvals vary based on operational scope, airspace, and mission profile, but all deployments are conducted under documented regulatory authorization.
We support a wide range of healthcare logistics, including:
- Hospital-to-hospital medical transport
- Delivery of prescriptions and medical supplies
- Direct-to-patient deliveries
- Time-critical and routine healthcare logistics
All deliveries are conducted using aviation-grade safety and compliance standards.
Our healthcare logistics programs are built on aviation discipline, structured planning, and regulatory alignment. With over 200,000 completed commercial deliveries, we have demonstrated repeatable, scalable operations under real-world conditions while maintaining safety and compliance standards.
Deployment timelines vary based on location, airspace complexity, regulatory approvals, and infrastructure readiness. However, our structured planning process includes:
- Operational feasibility assessment
- Regulatory coordination
- Infrastructure and route planning
- Training and SOP alignment
- Gradual operational scaling
We prioritize sustainable deployment over rapid but unstable implementation.
Yes. Causey Aviation Unmanned maintains appropriate aviation insurance coverage aligned with operational scope and risk profile. Coverage levels are structured to meet enterprise, healthcare, and government requirements.
Our testing programs are grounded in real aviation operations. Rather than isolated lab demonstrations, we validate aircraft performance within structured operational frameworks that reflect real airspace, procedural oversight, and safety governance.
While certification decisions remain with regulators, our FAA-informed operational alignment helps manufacturers generate meaningful operational data and identify integration considerations early in development.
Yes. Our testing focuses on real-world aviation environments, supported by professional infrastructure and operational discipline. This approach helps uncover operational challenges earlier and supports future regulatory pathways.
Yes. Causey Aviation Unmanned supports eVTOL and AAM programs with operational testing, infrastructure validation, and FAA-aligned integration support to help prepare next-generation aircraft for real-world operations.
No. We support programs across multiple stages—from early operational testing and demonstrations to pre-deployment readiness—while aligning activities with future certification and regulatory considerations.
Operational risk is managed through:
- Pre-mission risk assessments
- Structured crew roles and responsibilities
- Airspace evaluation and coordination
- Weather and environmental analysis
- Defined emergency response procedures
- Continuous operational review
Risk management is systematic and documented—not situational.
We follow documented incident response procedures aligned with aviation best practices. This includes internal review, reporting where required, and corrective action protocols designed to improve operational resilience.
Yes. Causey Aviation Unmanned supports programs across the United States, operating within approved airspace and regulatory frameworks appropriate to each mission.
We work with organizations that require reliability, regulatory alignment, and operational discipline, including healthcare systems, manufacturers, logistics providers, technology developers, and government agencies.
You can contact our team through the Contact page to discuss your goals, ask questions, or explore how our unmanned aviation services may support your organization.
You can expect transparency regarding regulatory alignment, structured operational governance, safety processes, and deployment methodology. We believe compliance, safety, and operational discipline are just as important as aircraft capability.
