Hendrix Consulting Group, LLC (http://www.hendrixcg.com), an aerial imaging solutions company, has been granted a Section 333 Exemption and a Certificate of Authorization (COA) for commercial Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operations throughout the United States by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The Section 333 Exemption approval provides operators safe and legal entry into the National Airspace System. The Certificate of Authorization provides clearance by the FAA and the Department of Transportation to a public operator for specific UAS activities.

Hendrix Consulting Group provides these UAS services to a multitude of business sectors including real estate, construction and land development; utility and critical infrastructure; energy, mining and natural resources; and agriculture enterprises.
