Drone sandboxes are a way to bridge the gap between regulation and reality, allowing for testing in safe ways. On this episode, Vincent Lambercy discusses with Antoine Martin. Antoine serves as "Advanced ATM Officer" with the French Directorate of General Civil Aviation and has been with the french ANSP DSNA before.

We discuss the status of the current drone regulations in Europe, how the French CAA facilitates testing for drone operations, Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights, and more.

Why are sandboxes useful, and even needed, and how they will evolve in the future? How is the gap between the regulation and the standards, and what is missing for routine BVLOS flights?

We discuss this and more, and Antoine's question is to Florian Guillermet.
