Progress in development of
sense and avoid technologies
for unmanned aerial vehicles
is bringing them closer to
integration into the National
Airspace System.
More and more industries are
using the technology, including
the oil and gas industry.

AUVSI’s Remote Pilots Council
gives commercial operators a voice
By the end of this year more than 600,000
commercial unmanned aircraft systems
will take to the skies operated by FAA-
certified remote pilots. To meet the unique
needs of this new and growing community
of professional aviators, AUVSI has
established the Remote Pilots Council.
As you will read in this issue of
Unmanned
Systems,
the council, which is comprised
of AUVSI members throughout the United
States, will discuss how to ensure the safe
and responsible integration of UAS into
the nation’s airspace.
The RPC’s immediate goals are to bring
AUVSI members together to provide
feedback on real-world UAS operations.
That includes clarifying and offering
suggestions for greater efficiency in
the FAA’s UAS waiver process. Going
forward, the RPC will identify and review
operational challenges and potential
solutions that can be addressed through
FAA rulemaking.
Already, the RPC has held meetings with
local AUVSI chapters in San Francisco,
Denver, Washington and Chicago, with
more planned in other cities throughout
the year. These meetings provide a forum
for council members to meet with their
peers and FAA officials as they set an
initial agenda.
When the small UAS rule, also known as
Part 107, was implemented last August, it
established a clear regulatory framework,
which has helped reduce many barriers
to commercial and civil operations.
Additionally, the FAA has set up an online
process for UAS operators to request a
waiver and/or airspace authorization to fly
outside the requirements of the rule.
In the past several months, the FAA has
approved hundreds of waivers, permitting
UAS operations such as flying at night,
over people, from a moving vehicle or
aircraft and beyond visual line of sight.
The RPC will play an important role for the
UAS industry by providing feedback to the
FAA on the current set of waivers, as well
as recommending new waivers for other
types of operations in advance of further
regulations.
Another aspect of AUVSI’s Remote Pilots
Council, and perhaps the most important,
is helping to increase airspace safety.
The implementation of the small UAS rule
has provided a guide for developing the
necessary tools and training to create a
culture of safety around the use of UAS.
As the FAA certifies more remote pilots,
they will become part of the aviation
community, which I have been a member
of for more than 24 years as a commercial
pilot and, recently, a Part 107 remote pilot.
They will foster aviation’s long-standing
principles of airmanship and self-policing
to promote safety and discourage careless
and reckless operations.
The small UAS rule did not come
about overnight. It took industry and
government working together to embrace
and accelerate innovation. These
efforts continue today as we look for
ways for UAS to fly higher and farther.
AUVSI’s Remote Pilots Council, working
collaboratively with the FAA, will help pave
the way for a true, holistic plan for full UAS
integration into the airspace.
