FAA Monthly Reporting Requirement

All operators holding a Section 44807 Exemption are required to submit an FAA report every month, regardless of flight activity. This includes months in which no flights occurred.

As stated in your 44807 Approval Letter, under Section F. Reporting Requirements, “Negative (zero flights) reports are required.”

If you have misplaced your 44807, view our article on Where to Find Your 44807 Exemption.



How to Submit a Zero-Flight Monthly Report in AcreConnect®

Confirm Organization Details

If you haven’t already entered your organization’s information, now is a great time to do so. Once added, each FAA Report can automatically populate these details, making report creation much easier. This information only needs to be entered once.


Navigate to FAA Reports

On the top menu bar, click on "FAA Reports."



Create FAA Report

Select the “Create FAA Report” button.

A pop-up will appear prompting you to select the month and year for the FAA Report. After making your selection, click Create FAA Report.


Company Details

Verify that your company's FAA information is correct. These details are pulled from your organization profile.

Information includes:

  • Company Name

  • Address

  • Phone Number

  • Exemption Docket Number

  • Exemption Number

  • Certificate of Authorization (COA) Number

If any information is incorrect, update it as needed. Once verified, select "Continue" to proceed to the next page.

UAS Type and Model

Select all the aircraft(s) you are reporting on even if you haven't flown it that month. This list of aircraft(s) is populated from the aircraft(s) that have been assigned to the organization. To update or add an aircraft in your organization, view the article Adding Your Aircraft to Your Organization. Click "Continue" once you have made your selection.

Important Note: DJI aircraft names must match exactly, or AcreConnect® will not be able to link the flight files. Make sure the aircraft name in your Agras account and in the AcreConnect® Equipment tab are identical.

Operation Details

Confirm the reporting month, then select the back arrow because you won't have an excel record to upload.


Edit Report

If you need to make changes, locate the report, click the three-dot menu, and select "Edit." This menu also provides the option to delete the report if needed.


Export Report

Click the three-dot menu and select "Export." The completed file will then download to your computer’s File Explorer.



Submit Report to FAA

Check your 44807 exemption to confirm the correct email address for submitting your monthly report. While you can generally send your completed report to the FAA at one of the two addresses listed below, note that some exemptions may specify a different email. Be sure to carefully review your 44807 approval in its entirety to remain aware of all conditions, limitations, and responsibilities. The correct reporting email is listed in Section F: "Reporting Requirement" of your 44807.

If you have misplaced your 44807, view our article on Where to Find Your 44807 Exemption.

We’ve seen two different FAA emails listed in 44807 exemptions for submitting monthly reports: [email protected] and [email protected]. Please check your own 44807 approval to confirm which address applies to you.

Don’t forget to attach your completed FAA report!
