Regulatory Status and Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking

Lets go flying! But is it safe and legal?

Dont be these guys. What you want to do is probably against regulations.

How did we get here?
Once upon a time, we could tell the difference between a
drone, a model airplane, and a commercial aircraft.
-
Drones were for the military.
Cruise missiles:
Curtiss/Sperry Flying Bomb (1918)
V-1 (1944)
-
Target
drone
Drones were for the military.
Reconnaissance
drone
Electronic
countermeasures

-
Commercial aircraft had people
in them.
-
49 USC 44711
A person may not:
operate a civil aircraft in air commerce without an airworthiness certificate.
serve in any capacity as an airman in air commerce without an airman certificate.
-
Model aircraft didnt do much.
-
FAA issues Advisory
Circular 91-57
Within reason, modelers can do what they want below 400'.
Avoid full-scale aircraft.
1981
-
1990s
Predators used in Balkans.
Electric model aircraft become feasible.
-
2000s
Predator & Reaper are in the news.
Drone becomes a bad word.
-
2000s
Hobby technology advances.
Multicopters become possible.
-
2000s
Military applications proliferate.
Hobby technology finds its way into the military.
-
2000s
The public is terrified.
-
2010s
Legislators worry about surveillance.
National Conference of State Legislatures
Bangor Daily News
-
The Lakemaid Beer Affair
UAS delivers beer.
People love UAS.
-
The Lakemaid Beer Affair
Hobbyists increasingly engage in commercial activities.
Is this safe? Whos liable?
-
The Lakemaid Beer Affair ...the FAA got in touch to let Lakemaid know its plan broke four and possibly five regulations, ranging from the operator's rating to the use of airspace. - NPR
-
2010s Businesses see huge potential.
Congress & FAA scramble to regulate commercial operations.
-
2010s Safety concerns increase.

March 2015
Multicopter buzzes TV helicopters at 1500.
TV crew finds operator.
KIRO
The rest of the video includes a weird theater of modern surveillance. This is exactly the kind of tracking people worry
about drones doing, but here, it's done
by a powerful news camera in a manned
helicopter. Popular Science
-
Prediction:
There will be a well-publicized accident.
The pendulum of public opinion will swing back toward banning drones.
-
2010s
FAA works on new rules.
Congress passes FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012.
Section 333: the Secretary of Transportation shall determine if certain unmanned aircraft
systems may operate safely in the national
airspace system before completion of the plan
and rulemaking
-
Myths
As long as I follow the hobby/model aircraft rules, its okay.
Reality: If youre doing it at work, its not a hobby.
-
Myths The FAA is trying to ban drones.
The FAA doesnt have authority over small UAS.
Reality: Unlicensed commercial aviation
has been illegal since before you were
born (49 USC 44711).
-
Myths If I can do it for fun, theres nothing wrong with
charging for it.
Where would you draw the line?
Brian Bostick
-
Myths
The FAA is making stricter rules to keep UAS out of the sky.
Reality: The industry wants new rules.
UAS use will increase dramatically.
-
Myths Lots of people do it, so it must
be okay.
The police didnt stop me, so it must be okay.
My subcontractor has a license.
Reality: The vast majority
of UA photography
operations are violating
regulations.
-
Current Status: Hobby
Guidelines have been updated.
Still legal if safe and reasonable.
More from Chris
-
Current Status: Public
Requires a certificate of waiver or authorization (COA).
COA permits public agencies and organizations to operate a particular
aircraft, for a particular purpose, in a
particular area.
-
Current Status: Civil
Requires a Section 333 exemption and a COA.
Tethered = unmanned.
-
Section 333 Exemption
Aircraft is registered, airworthy, and documented.
No airworthiness certificate thats the Section 333 part.
-
Section 333 Exemption
Pilot in command (PIC) is central.
Private pilot certificate and medical certificate.
Proposed
rules: easier
certificate
-
Section 333 Exemption
Visual line of sight (VLOS).
Pilot + visual observer.
See & avoid other aircraft.
-
Section 333 Exemption
No innocent bystanders (congested areas).
>500 from person, vessel, or structure (unless protected).
Daytime.
Under 400.
-
Safety Tips The regulations are a starting point.
Consider job site hazards.
Plan for failures (just like with manned aircraft).
-
Proposed Rules
Much less strict than COAs & Section 333 exemptions.
Would create new airman certificate.

Background and History The increasing excitement around UAS and the ease of acquiring them had led to a proliferation of unmanned systems
being utilized by the general public.
Rules and guidelines on who can fly, where they can fly, and for what purpose are complex and not always obvious to UAS enthusiasts.
Know Before You Fly launched on December 22, 2014 to help educate users.
www.auvsi.org
-
Primary Goals
Educate all prospective users of the technology about the safe and responsible operation of UAS, including who can
currently fly, where they can fly and for what purposes.
Develop a partnership between manufacturers, distributors and the federal government to promote knowledge.
www.auvsi.org
-
Elements of the Campaign
Printed collateral and materials.
A digital media campaign built around a dedicated microsite
located at www.knowbeforeyoufly.org.
Partnerships with retailers, manufacturers, distributors and
other stakeholders who can help carry the message and
distribute materials.
www.auvsi.org
-
Future of the Campaign Working directly with manufacturers to put Know Before
You Fly educational pamphlets in the UAVs packaging.
Reaching out to big box stores like Best Buy to encourage
them to make Know Before You Fly materials available in the
store and online.
Continue recruiting the support of states, universities,
aviation associations, manufacturers and anyone else with a
stake in aviation safety to help spread the campaign message
and materials.

Griffiss International Airport UAS Test Site Rome, NY
-
York based not-for-profit co The NUAIR Alliance is a New alition of more than 70 private and public entities and academic institutions working together to operate and manage UAS test ranges in New York, Massachusetts and Michigan, with operational headquarters at Griffiss International
Airport. NUAIR is one of just six UAS test sites in the country.
NUAIR collaborates with CenterState CEO and Mohawk Valley EDGE to support the UAS
and sensor industry in the region. CenterState CEO is the 12-county regional businesses and
economic development organization in Upstate New York. Mohawk Valley EDGE is the vertically
integrated economic development organization serving Oneida and Herkimer Counties.
Griffiss International Airport is NUAIRs operational headquarters. NUAIRs hangar and adjacent ramp access facilities are newly renovated to supports UAS Test Site activity.
NUAIR recently received a $4 million grant from New York State to install state-of-the-art range
instrumentation for UAS and aircraft tracking at the Griffiss UAS test range. This technology
supports the development of the test sites FAA mission of supporting development of a Sense and Avoid (SAA) system. This range instrumentation is slated to be operational by late 2015.
-
NUAIR Infrastructure
The purpose of FAA UAS test sites is to develop protocols for the safe integration of UAS into the National Airspace System. To advance this goal, NUAIR is enhancing its existing UAS flight
test infrastructure by implementing and constructing the following by Fall 2015:
Ground based sense and avoid system
Range Instrumentation
$4 million NYS investment announced December, 2014
As a test site, NUAIR will offer expedited certification for commercial UAS manufacturers, equipment suppliers and researchers.
-
NUAIR Test Ranges
Airspace is available from 500 above the ground to FL 490 (49,000)
Ability to apply for FAA COA to operate UAS in New York and Massachusetts
