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.

How is Causey Aviation Unmanned different from other drone companies?

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.

Is Causey Aviation Unmanned a certified UAS Air Carrier?

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.

How is Causey Aviation Unmanned structured from a regulatory standpoint?

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.

What is your relationship with the FAA?

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.

Do you follow formal Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)?

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.

What certifications or approvals do you operate under?

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.

What types of medical deliveries do you support?

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.

How do you ensure medical deliveries are reliable and compliant?

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.

How long does it take to deploy a medical drone program?

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.

Do you provide insurance coverage for operations?

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.

How does your UAS testing differ from basic flight testing providers?

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.

Can your testing support future certification efforts?

While certification decisions remain with regulators, our FAA-informed operational alignment helps manufacturers generate meaningful operational data and identify integration considerations early in development.

Do you provide testing beyond controlled lab environments?

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.

Do you support eVTOL and Advanced Air Mobility programs?

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.

Are your services limited to fully certified eVTOL aircraft?

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.

How do you manage operational risk?

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.

What happens if there is an incident?

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.

Do you operate nationwide?

Yes. Causey Aviation Unmanned supports programs across the United States, operating within approved airspace and regulatory frameworks appropriate to each mission.

Who typically partners with Causey Aviation Unmanned?

We work with organizations that require reliability, regulatory alignment, and operational discipline, including healthcare systems, manufacturers, logistics providers, technology developers, and government agencies.

How do I start a conversation or partnership?

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.

What should I expect when evaluating Causey Aviation Unmanned as a partner?

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.
