DoT Criticises Unmanned Integration

摘要

The US Department of Transport (DoT) has criticised the Federal Aviation Administration's progress on integrating unmanned air systems (UAS) into US airspace. An audit report issued by the DoT Office of Inspector General said: "The FAA is making some progress in meeting UAS-related provisions of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 [but] the agency is significantly behind schedule in meeting most of them - including the goal of achieving safe integration by September 2015. "While it is certain the FAA will accommodate UAS operations at limited locations, it is uncertain when and if full integration of UAS into the NAS [National Airspace System] will occur."
