Drones Quietly Expand FAA Jurisdiction from Airspace to Cyberspace

摘要

In April, the FAA issued a National Policy Notice outlining, for the first time, the agency's regulation of "aviation-related videos or other electronic media on the Internet." The new policy statement quietly signaled the dawn of a new era for the FAA, an era in which the agency's jurisdiction extends beyond the navigable airspace and into cyberspace. The move also sheds light on how drone technology is both shaping and outpacing our nation's aviation regulations.
