[top] Description of Relief Sought: Kiwi Technologies, Inc. d/b/a Guardian Agriculture (Guardian Agriculture) seeks

relief to operate the Guardian Agriculture MOE, an electric quad motor rotorcraft unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with a maximum takeoff weight of 454 pounds. The purpose of the operations is to conduct research and development and crew training in accordance with 14 CFR 21.191(a) and 21.191(c) for type certification. To be eligible for a type certificate, Guardian Agriculture must show, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must find, that the type design complies with the certification basis.

The visual line of sight operations include: Likely Failure and Specific Demonstration Testing (LF/SD), Familiarization Flight (FAM), Operational Suitability Evaluations (OSE) and noise testing under the observation of FAA representatives; and durability and reliability (D&R) testing in accordance with the FAA-approved Test Plan. These operations will occur at Griffiss UAS Test Site in New York. The UAS will be operating with a special airworthiness certificate in the experimental category and a civil Certificate of Waiver or Authorization.
