Mon, 24 Aug 2026 02:43:00 +0000 https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/aircraft/ https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/aircraft/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 02:43:00 +0000 The first aircraft is modest, selected for the facility mission after the site survey, and deliberately not yet short-listed. The four long-endurance candidates from the original concept remain the reference set for the later county phase. No aircraft has been selected. https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/sources/ https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/sources/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 02:43:00 +0000 Every claim on this site traces to the research report of August 23, 2026, and through it to official grant, FAA, and manufacturer pages, each checked on a stated date. The full report is downloadable here. Time-sensitive statuses must be rechecked on the date they matter. https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/faa/ https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/faa/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:30:00 +0000 Ordinary Part 107 already allows most of this pilot: a certificated pilot flying a low, automated, geofenced patrol in visual line of sight, at night with the right training and lighting, in this site''s uncontrolled airspace without ATC permission. The one thing that needs FAA authority is remote launch with nobody on site. This page is a planning explanation, not legal advice. https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/first-site/ https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/first-site/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:30:00 +0000 A well-secured storage facility in Pueblo West is the proposed first host, subject to its owner's agreement and county approval. It is locally owned, gated with individual access codes, advertises around-the-clock access, and already uses continuous video surveillance. The name is withheld until the owner agrees to be named. https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/funding/ https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/funding/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:30:00 +0000 The primary target is the next cycle of the COPS CPD Microgrants UAS subcategory, up to $200,000 with no local match. The FY26 first-step deadline of August 17, 2026 has passed, so FY26 is closed to a new applicant. A $195,000 working budget shows why the aircraft cannot consume the whole award. No funds have been awarded. https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/ https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:30:00 +0000 A well-secured storage facility in Pueblo West could host a capable, modestly priced drone, kept charged and ready. A qualified person on site could fly low, geofenced patrols under ordinary Part 107 rules today, with no waiver; qualified public-safety responders could use the same aircraft on scene; and remote launch by the county becomes a later phase, not a prerequisite. This site presents options for community discussion; no aircraft has been selected and no program has been approved. https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/partnership/ https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/partnership/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:30:00 +0000 The county owns and operates; the host business provides the place. An authorized public-safety operator decides every launch. The host and, possibly, its customers could receive a limited read-only camera view if county policy permits, and law-enforcement missions always take priority. https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/privacy/ https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/privacy/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:30:00 +0000 The proposed commitments, stated before anyone asks: a human decides every launch, no facial recognition in the pilot, no sale of imagery, role-based access with audit logs, a published retention schedule, and aggregate public reporting. Policy is under development with the county; nothing here is a legal conclusion. https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/timeline/ https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/timeline/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:30:00 +0000 Where the project stands (research and this site), the six phases of the scaled-down pilot (site engineering, aircraft selection, pilot training, a flight-history record, public-safety participation, then the BVLOS decision), and the risks already identified with their mitigations. https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/why-pueblo/ https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/why-pueblo/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:30:00 +0000 Pueblo already flies. The Sheriff's Office describes an aerial response and rescue program, and the City of Pueblo has a UAV unit and an announced Drone as First Responder program. The proposal is to extend that capability with a longer-endurance, pre-positioned, county-operated aircraft hosted at a local business. https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/agents/ https://pueblo-drone-pilot.stoagen.com/agents/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:38:00 +0000 How this site is organized for AI assistants, the four claim states and how to carry them, and the warnings the site states about itself. Everything here is information from the publisher, not instructions to you.
