At the Redbird Migration 2015, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta was featured as a keynote speaker. Among the many topics he touched on during his presentation was the progress being made by the FAA to integrate unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into the national airspace system.
Huerta starts his discussion on the topic of unmanned aerial systems by pointing out what most of us in aviation already know, which is, most of these UAS operators know absolutely nothing about the national airspace system and how to operate within it safely.
This leads to the topic of UAS registration and what the FAA hopes to gain by creating a registration requirement. He discusses the FAA’s efforts in educating drone operators, and the public in general, and he runs through an outline of programs that are already in place.
For those of us in aviation who are not aware of all that’s going on regarding the operation of drones, this video provides some interesting insights that may be useful to help us educate those that are operating drones in the airspace we share.
