Mica Nguyen Worthy Represented Corporate Client and Drone Operator in FAA Investigation

Mica Nguyen Worthy, practice group leader for the Aviation & Aerospace Practice Group, counseled a drone operator and the corporate client for whom the operator was working, in handling potential regulatory exposure involving the FAA and the Department of State. The drone operator unintentionally entered into restricted airspace, as is a common mistake around the Charlotte airport. With the advice of counsel, both the drone operator and the corporate client felt confident in the FAA interview process and the handling of the remedial actions (further education on drone operations) taken by the drone operator to demonstrate their continued commitment to legal and safe operations.
