Light Flight
Light Flight was designed to approach and retrieve any light fixture on any Tower, Building, Wind Turbine in the world. Any Light that must be physically climbed to maintenance or replace existing lights. Now the whole fixture can be removed from these locations from distances of up to 10 miles and brought back to a mobile power source to be inspected, maintained, or even replaced. Within minutes of landing on the tower the light fixture can be removed and headed back to the mobile base unit.
Once our base plate is installed onto the towers or structures no person will ever have to climb these structures again for light maintenance. We can maintain all the lighting needs on all the structures in the world. Plus, we can also do visual inspections of these towers annually with video and maintenance records for the tower owners to meet their regulations.
We have strategically located 10 locations in the USA that overlap with an 8-hour radius to install our Light Flight Base Plates and maintenance all the lights in our system annually.
We will have 30 linemen in each location that will all be Licensed FAA Part 108.
What is Part 108
Part 108 establishes a new regulatory framework specifically designed for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations. Unlike the current Part 107 rules that require pilots to maintain visual contact with their aircraft, Part 108 will enable operators to fly drones at distances far beyond what the human eye can see, opening unprecedented opportunities for commercial applications.
The new regulations support operations at or below 400 feet above ground level in FAA-approved areas, with drones weighing up to an impressive 1,320 pounds - a massive increase from Part 107's 55-pound limit. This expansion enables everything from large-scale package delivery operations to industrial surveying missions that were previously impossible or prohibitively complex.
Key Changes That Will Transform Your Business
Streamlined Authorization Process: Gone are the days of lengthy, case-by-case waiver applications for BVLOS operations. Part 108 introduces two pathways: permits for lower-risk operations and certificates for more complex missions. This standardized approach will dramatically reduce regulatory barriers and accelerate time-to-market for commercial drone services.
Corporate Responsibility Model: The FAA is shifting responsibility from individual pilots to organizations. Companies will now be accountable for ensuring their personnel meet training requirements and operational standards. This change reflects the evolution toward more sophisticated, enterprise-level drone operations.
Automated Data Service Providers (ADSPs): The new framework introduces third-party data services that will provide real-time information to help operators avoid conflicts with other aircraft. These services will be crucial for maintaining safety in increasingly busy airspace.
Performance-Based Standards: Rather than prescriptive rules, Part 108 emphasizes performance-based regulations where manufacturers set operational limits for their aircraft. This approach allows for innovation while maintaining safety standards.
Industry Applications Getting the Green Light
Part 108 explicitly enables several commercial applications that have been waiting in the wings:
- Package Delivery: Large-scale drone delivery services can finally move beyond pilot programs.
- Agricultural Operations: Enhanced crop monitoring, spraying, and surveying capabilities.
- Infrastructure Inspections: Power lines, pipelines, and telecommunications infrastructure can be monitored more efficiently.
- Emergency Response: Public safety agencies gain expanded capabilities for search and rescue operations.
- Aerial Surveying: Large-area mapping and monitoring projects become economically viable.
This will allow DTP to maintain all lighting maintenance, replacements, or inspections of all customer towers 24/7, 365.
If there is an issue with the base plate or power connection, we will have the resources to climb the tower to correct anything that may be incorrect. All will be performed well within the amount of time regulated by the FAA for lights to be corrected and operable. All at no cost to the Tower Owner based on our annual maintenance contracts.
We can guarantee 15% to 30% savings to all Tower Owners going forward after the installation of Light Flight.
These percentages will be based on actual 3-year cost to the Tower Owners. We will take an average of the last 3 years' cost and depending on how many towers the customer owns will determine how much percentage they will receive. Plus, the greatest thing is Safety. No more liabilities of anyone climbing these towers.
