    The Hour Is Upon US! FAA To Divulge New sUAS Regulations Today (Sunday 2/15/2015)!

    Congrats Ronan, glad the clients are calling you again! I certainly agree that a lot of clear, positive comments will be necessary now to combat the other interests that won't be happy. We should also be clear in the points we aren't happy with. BLOS (important for some waypoint or autonomous...

    Representation for Commercial sUAS

    Very interesting, thanks for posting. It looks like, considering the circumstances, they did well in their defense. Reckless and Dangerous is - and should be - a more important issue to the FAA and us all than paid vs. unpaid. Regardless of the outcome of this case, I'm glad they've brought...

    Drone used in Ok Go new music video

    As I understand it, the band had to shoot this video in Japan because there wasn't a legal way to do it here in the States. The group "UAV Grassroots" has lined up Ok Go to play a concert in DC this Wednesday, Jan 21, specifically to advocate for the responsible use of drones in the US. It's...

    Possible Multirotor Application in Underground Mines?

    Hi Sterlingz, that's really interesting, thanks for posting the question. I understand that a variety of companies, big and small, are currently working on obstacle avoidance technology as well as 3D mapping, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see use in mines in the future. The current problem...

    Representation for Commercial sUAS

    I’ve been trying hard to make ACUAS succeed, and although I’m not getting paid and have a day job and family to take care of, I’ve tried to make ACUAS a priority because I see sUAS as an integral and vibrant part of our future and now is a pivotal time for this industry. I’m not a political...

    Representation for Commercial sUAS

    The Small UAV Coalition seems so be doing good work at high levels to push for the commercial use of sUAS. As a lobbying organization for Amazon, DJI, and several other very large companies it appears they would be valuable partners in the efforts to improve some of the regulatory issues we...

    Association of Commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems - ACUAS.org

    As things keep building pressure in Washington DC and among the sUAS community, I see a lot of new discussions on their way shortly. The FAA says it's about to announce new proposed regulations, and no one expects them to be entirely favorable. Thousands of new multirotors are about to get...

As ACUAS ramps up its efforts to bring...

    Representation for Commercial sUAS

    I appreciate the info being shared here and the discussions about what we can do. Yes the FAA's upcoming Notice of Proposed Rule Making shouldn't be a surprise to us, but it could very well be a disappointment. As Old Man indicated, we are likely about to see a primary example of why our...

    Hi Gary, thank you for your contributions to the discussion. I agree with Chuck that the best thing we can do is to find ways to all work together toward our common interests, and I'm sure it will be very helpful both to connect with other groups who have similar agendas and to learn from...
