The Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) recently announced the publication of a legal white paper<\/a> analyzing airspace law and offering a plan for how states and localities can consider uncrewed aircraft system (UAS, or drone) laws that enable the rapidly growing industry without infringing upon existing authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the Drone Flies: How to Think About Property Ownership,\nFederal Preemption, and Airspace Control in the Era of Remotely Piloted\nAircraft\u201d is authored by Sara Baxenberg and Josh Turner, experienced drone and\npreemption attorneys at Wiley Rein who serve as outside counsel to AUVSI. They\naddress two key legal issues: first, the rights of individual property owners\nin the surface of their property as compared to the airspace above, and second,\nthe authority of states and localities given federal preemption in the fields\nof air navigation and aviation safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“While the advent of drones may appear to pose an\ninflection point for a variety of traditional legal concepts, these supposed\nconflicts are, in actuality, easily resolved,\u201d said Sara Baxenberg, Partner at\nWiley Rein LLP. \u201cStates can protect rights, interests, and assets in a way that\nensures that the rules are clear for all stakeholders and all interests are\nadequately safeguarded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper follows the launch of AUVSI\u2019s multi-state Drone\nPrepared initiative to help lawmakers ensure that their state or locality is\nready for the benefits the future of uncrewed and autonomous flight will bring\nto their communities. Model legislation from Drone Prepared has been introduced\nin both chambers in Mississippi and passed last week with overwhelming support\nin the state Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Smitsky, Vice President, Government Affairs at\nAUVSI, said: \u201cBy following the legal principles in this paper, states can be on\nthe forefront of attracting the drone industry to their state and unlocking the\nbenefits it will bring to their constituents.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 2023 state legislative sessions, AUVSI and the Drone Prepared coalition is supporting legislative proposals which adhere to the paper\u2019s legal principles by: (1) Promoting drone use for public benefit; (2) Recognizing the authority of the Federal Aviation Administration over airspace navigation and safety; (3) Leveraging existing laws that already address concerns like privacy and trespass; and (4) Promoting technology neutrality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
