Comments requested for FAA's ANPRM for safe and secure operations of UAS
Model aviation needs your help to ensure that future regulations do not place unnecessary burdens on our community. Last month, the FAA issued an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) regarding the safe and secure operations of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS). In this ANPRM, the FAA is currently seeking comments on potential new rulemaking for operational and performance restrictions on UAS, including model aircraft. Some of the parameters being considered include altitude, airspeed, standoff distances, and unmanned aircraft traffic management.
It is critical that we voice our support for the hobby by submitting a comment to the Federal Register regarding this ANPRM. AMA has developed sample text that you can customize with your personal story and then copy and paste into the comment field on the Federal Register website. The deadline for submitting comments is 11:59 p.m. on April 15, 2019.
