Abstract: The current release of the application asks the users to provide answers to questions (When, Where and How High) flights were planned. Currently, there is no established process to facilitate this exchange of information. The current collection of data of questions (When, Where and How High) did not provide useful information as intended and will be discontinued Q42019. B4UFLY 2.0 will provide two web links so that will allow users to voluntarily provide feedback regarding the operation of the application to the FAA for policy related questions and Kittyhawk for technical related questions. The ‘Contact FAA’ link to the FAA.gov feedback web-form is where individuals may provide comments, questions, or issues, they may have regarding B4UFLY 2.0 policy related questions. The FAA.gov feedback web-form only requires that individuals provide an email address so that they may be contacted in response to the feedback they provided. Additionally, the ‘Contact Kittyhawk’ link to the Typeform web-form is where individuals may provide comments, questions, or issues regarding technical issues with B4UFLY 2.0. Providing an email address on the Typeform web-form is optional for users who require a response from Kittyhawk and no other PII is collected. In our terms of service, the application will state that the B4UFLY application does not maintain, or disseminate any users’ personally identifiable information (PII). Please see our Privacy Policy for further information regarding what information may be collected which is not personally identifiable. Users who seek to provide feedback regarding B4UFLY may provide feedback at the FAA.gov website. The user must agree that all user information and information you provide to Kittyhawk or submitted through the B4UFLY application is subject to our Privacy Policy. The data collected will be used: 1. By the FAA to respond to the UAS pilots who voluntarily provide comments, questions, or issues, they may have regarding B4UFLY 2.0 policy related questions. An email address is collected for response purposes in accordance with Section 336 of the FAA’s 2012 Reauthorization 2. By the Kittyhawk development team where individuals may provide comments, questions, or issues regarding technical issues with B4UFLY 2.0. An email address is only required if the pilot requires a response.

Short Statement: The information being collected through the application is changing. Previously, the app asked the users to provide answers to questions (When, Where and How High) flights were planned. Currently, there is no established process to facilitate this exchange of information and is therefore being discontinued and will no longer be collected after July 31, 2019. Additionally, the ability to contact the FAA directly through a Contact Us link allows the FAA to rapidly respond to policy based regulatory questions. Adding a direct Contact Us link directly to the development team, allows the pilot to receive quicker responses to technical issues especially on holidays and weekends when the FAA helpdesk is not operational. Ending the collection of the When, Where, How High information, and only collecting information through the Contact Us links, results in fewer respondents and therefore less burden on the public.
