Drone Integration Pilot Program Gets High Interest, Additional Webinar Added

Next Session Planned For Monday, November 27

The new Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Integration Pilot Program fosters innovation and advances the integration of UAS into our nation’s airspace to ensure U.S. global leadership in the emerging UAS industry. It’s taking collaboration to a new level.

There’s already been tremendous interest in the Program and more than 4300 people registered to attend the FAA's online webinars to learn how they can participate. It’s facilitating partnerships between state, local, and tribal government entities and private industry to gather operational and other data from advanced operational concepts, such as flights over people and package delivery.

Based on demand, the FAA has added a webinar to provide an overview of the Program, application process, and the specific criteria and deadlines required. Registration is required.

The next webinar will be held Monday, November 27, 12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. EST

The results from the Program will help to inform the development of future enabling regulations that will expand safe UAS operations and help to transition many of the new and novel operational concepts that we manage today by exception into routine, commonplace aspects of our everyday lives.
