FAA Will Be Partnering With The Know Before You Fly Campaign, And The UAS Safety Team

The FAA reports that the first National Drone Safety Awareness Week in 2019 was a great success! This year they are looking to build on that and continue the conversation about drone safety.

The FAA will hold its second annual National Drone Safety Awareness Week, Nov. 16 to 22, 2020. The FAA is committed to ensuring the safety of the National Airspace System as we continue to integrate drones and other new technologies. Drone Safety Awareness Week is an opportunity for others to share their commitment to drone safety.

The FAA will be partnering with the Know Before You Fly educational campaign, and the Unmanned Aircraft (UAS) Safety Team to get the word out about National Drone Safety Awareness Week and encourage all drone operators to fly safe!

During this virtual campaign, the FAA and stakeholders will highlight important drone safety educational topics. 

• Monday: LEARN – What do you need to know before you fly?
• Tuesday: IMPROVE – How can you improve your flying skills?
• Wednesday: PASSION TO PROFESSION – How to go from recreational flyer to commercial drone pilot.
• Thursday: START A PROGRAM – Learn about starting a public safety program.
• Friday: IN THE CLASSROOM – How can you use drones in STEM education?
• Saturday and Sunday: HAVING FUN – Why do you fly?
