Action Plan To Prevent Future UAV Incidents Discussed By Industry

Tesla Foundation, UAVSA CEO, Others Say Action Needed Following White House Incident

Keith Kaplan CEO of the Tesla Foundation and the UAVSA met with members of the White House and the FAA, Professor Raja Sengupa of UC Berkeley, and former White House Counsel Lisa Ellman of McKenna, Long, and Aldridge Wednesday to discuss the issues surrounding a "Drone Pilot's License."

The meeting followed an incident in which a UAV went down on the White House lawn very early Monday morning.

Such a certificate, the industry says, would assure the ability for Veterans that have been injured and U.S. Citizen's that because of physical limitations can't obtain a pilot certificate to be employed in the new "Drone Economy."

To introduce the benefit of implementing air traffic control measures with SafeFlight Systems, the software to manage drone traffic and could have prevented the "Lawn Crash", and the issues regarding FAA rule making impeding commercial use of Drones.

The Tesla Foundation has created the Professional Drone Association ... the UAVSA  ... to give a voice to the emerging Professional Drone Community in this process and foster the community in the spirit of collaboration and the open source tradition of the scientific and engineering community.
