FAA SECTION 2209 | PETITION READINESS SCREEN
Is your critical infrastructure facility ready for a federal drone restriction request?
The FAA's proposed Part 74 rule creates a federal petition pathway for certain fixed-site critical infrastructure facilities to request Unmanned Aircraft Flight Restrictions (UAFRs). SkyTrade's readiness screen helps facility owners, operators, and security teams see whether their site could fit the proposed criteria, what evidence may be missing, and what to start documenting before any FAA petition.
Preliminary readiness screen only. Eligibility and approval remain subject to the final FAA rule and FAA review. A UAFR is a legal flight restriction, not authority to jam, spoof, take over, disable, or mitigate drones.
For critical infrastructure advisors and government affairs teams
Working with multiple facilities? Use this screen to identify which clients may be petition candidates, which are not petition-ready yet, and which should begin building an evidence record now. SkyTrade can support single-site reviews or portfolio-level readiness mapping across sectors, states, and facility types.

A UAFR request will not be won by a label alone. A facility will need a documented record: drone activity near the site, facility-specific vulnerabilities, likely consequences, protective security measures, Remote ID receive capability, and response procedures. That record is difficult to build retroactively. Facilities that start logging now will be better positioned when the FAA rule is final.
