UAS Task Force Outlines Recommendations for Registration
Posted by Adele Scholl on 11/24/2015 to
Today, the Federal Aviation Administration released the initial Task Force recommendations for the registration of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). In October, PrecisionHawk was selected by the Department of Transportation to serve on the UAS task force along with a diverse group of 24 other entities in the manned and unmanned space. The goal was to develop recommendations for a drone registration process that increases safety standards and could be tied into the final rule for sUAS.

Drone action urged
Posted by Adele Scholl on 10/14/2015 to
With a million drones expected in consumer hands by Christmas, a $1.9

growing mountain of sighting reports from pilots, members of a House
committee with jurisdiction over civil aviation vented frustration and
urged action during an Oct. 7 hearing.
Former NTSB Board Member Goglia: Unreasonable UAS Rules Promote Culture of Non-compliance
Posted by Adele Scholl on 10/2/2015 to
Within a week of the FAA’s
heralding its milestone “achievement,” 1,000 so-called 333 exemptions
to allow commercial use of unmanned aerial systems or drones, the agency
issued a press release
decrying what it calls the huge increase in drone sightings by pilots. According to the FAA,
“pilot reports of unmanned aircraft have increased dramatically over
the past year, from a total of 238 sightings in all of 2014 to more than
650” by the beginning of August this year. Aside from the fact that the
FAA is encouraging reporting, as are aviation groups such as ALPA, which could account for the increase in sightings, the data itself is largely unvetted, with no FAA
analysis that I’ve seen of any potential safety impact to the manned
aircraft from any of these individual sightings. So, in my opinion, the
value of this data for safety purposes is conjectural, at best.
