Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The City of Chicago would like to do multiple days worth of testing on a new Microwave Helicopter Wireless Surveillance System. This system testing will require the pilots to have Visual Meterorological Conditions (VMC). The flight path is significantly lower than most flight paths and each test will be done in different areas of the city. With the STA the testing can be performed on very short notice and based upon weather condition of that day.
