BEYOND Program

The Federal Aviation Administration BEYOND Program addresses remaining challenges in integrating unmanned aircraft systems into the National Airspace System. It advances operations under established rules rather than waivers, develops performance-based standards from operational data, incorporates community feedback and societal and economic benefits, and streamlines approval processes. Phase 1 concluded in 2024, and Phase 2 began in 2025 under the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 and extends the program through 2029.
