FAA Small UAS rules: impact unclear on emergency response agencies

Posted by admin on Feb 16, 2015 at 9:05 am America/Chicago

Yesterday the FAA released their proposed rules for small UAS. The summary focuses on the impact on commercial industry with the implication that emergency response agencies will continue to have to function under the "old" rules of applying for COAs even for class G space. I will be reading through the entire document (it's 159 pages) in the next couple of days to see what the real impact is.
