Chao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FAA will seek input on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking\n(NPRM) for Remote Identification (Remote ID) of UAS that today was placed on\ndisplay at the Federal Register.&nbsp; In the\ncoming days, it will be accompanied by a 60-day comment period to receive\npublic feedback and help the FAA develop a final rule to enhance safety in the\nskies over the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a pilot, my eye is always on safety first,\u201d said FAA\nAdministrator Steve Dickson. \u201cSafety is a joint responsibility between\ngovernment, pilots, the drone community, the general public and many others who\nmake our nation so creative and innovative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drones are a fast-growing segment of the entire transportation\nsector \u2013 nearly 1.5 million drones and 160,000 remote pilots are registered\nwith the FAA. Equipping drones with remote identification technologies would\nbuild on previous steps taken by the FAA and the UAS industry to safely\nintegrate operations, including the small UAS rule, which covers drones\nweighing less than 55 pounds, and the Low Altitude Authorization and\nNotification Capability (LAANC), which automates the application and approval\nprocess for most UAS operators to obtain airspace authorizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These efforts lay the foundation for more complex\noperations, such as those beyond visual line of sight at low altitudes, as the\nFAA and the drone industry move toward a traffic management ecosystem for UAS\nflights separate from, but complementary to, the air traffic management system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposed Remote ID rule would apply to all drones that\nare required to register with the FAA (recreational drones weighing under 0.55\npounds are not required to register), as well as to persons operating foreign\ncivil UAS in the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Department of Transportation\u2019s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a proposed rule that would continue the safe integration of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly called drones, into the nation\u2019s airspace by requiring them to be identifiable remotely. \u201cRemote ID technologies will enhance safety and security by allowing the FAA, law enforcement, and Federal [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":14506,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[127],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-unmanned-systems"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Remote-ID-FAA.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14505"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14505\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14507,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14505\/revisions\/14507"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
