AUVSI Applauds House Passage Of FAA Reauthorization

Multi-Year Authorization Will Achieve Long-Term Stability For FAA And UAS Industry

Brian Wynne (pictured), president and CEO of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), has issued a statement on the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) provisions in the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act of 2018 (H.R. 302), which passed in the U.S. House of Representatives today by a vote of 398 to 23.

"We are very pleased that the House of Representatives passed the FAA bill, which will help expand the commercialization of UAS technology and ensure that UAS are integrated into the national airspace in a manner that is safe for all aircraft – both manned and unmanned.

“The bill calls for rulemaking on a UAS Traffic Management (UTM) system, which will help ensure the safe and efficient use of the national airspace and enable expanded UAS operations, such as beyond visual line of sight. There are also provisions for rules concerning carriage of property, a necessary step for allowing UAS package deliveries. The bill additionally grants DHS and DOJ the authority to mitigate potentially malicious UAS operations, addressing security concerns, as well as provisions to implement remote identification standards.

“Additionally, we applaud the bill’s commitment to UAS safety awareness through its appropriation of $1 million every year from 2019 to 2023 for education campaigns such as Know Before Your Fly, an initiative AUVSI co-founded with the FAA and the Academy of Model Aeronautics. By amplifying education efforts, we can continue to ensure that UAS technology is adopted safely and responsibly.

“The passage of a multi-year authorization bill will help achieve long-term stability for the FAA and the entire aviation community, and we are hopeful that the Senate can vote soon and that a final bill can be sent to the President to sign.”
