The Giants did not obtain the proper clearance for their recent use of a drone during minicamp, which raised the eyebrows of the Federal Aviation Administration.
According to a Bloomberg News report, the FAA is looking into the use of drones by the Giants, as well as the Cowboys and Patriots. It’s illegal to fly an unmanned aircraft for commercial purposes without getting an FAA waiver unless it is being used indoors or is operated by a contractor with FAA authorization. None of the three teams received such a waiver, the report said.
The FAA has already reached out to the Cowboys about how to properly receive exemption and had plans to reach out to the Giants and Patriots, the report said.
