Small UAS rule marks first anniversary with rapid industry growth

摘要

One year ago this month, on Aug. 29, 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration implemented the Small UAS rule, officially known as Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. It was the result of years of collaboration between government and industry to establish a flexible, risk-based approach to regulating UAS. This framework helped reduce many barriers to low-risk civil and commercial UAS operations, allowing businesses and innovators to harness the remarkable potential of UAS and unlock the many economic and societal benefits the technology offers.
