FAA and GA Community Are Making the Skies Safer

FAA and GA Community Are Making the Skies Safer Statement from FAA Deputy Administrator Mike Whitaker: The United States has the largest and most diverse GA community in the world and we are all working together to put the right technologies, regulations, and education initiatives in place to improve safety. While the fatal accident rate is beginning to decline, too many lives are still being lost. Last year, 384 people died in 238 general aviation accidents. While we still have more work to do, the GA Joint Steering Committee's work on voluntary safety measures is making a difference. There's also no question that ADS-B is one of NextGen's most important safety technologies, and we're continuing to work closely with the Equip 2020  team to get it into more general aviation aircraft.   We've also made considerable progress on regulations that will enhance general aviation safety with our recent proposed Part 23 rule that will help us decrease the time it takes to get safety-enhancing technologies for small airplanes to the marketplace. Loss of Control remains our greatest concern. Through the Fly Safe education campaign we've had 35 million impressions on social media platforms.   Thank you to our industry leaders who participated in today's GA Safety Summit. Together, government and industry are building on our momentum and commitment to improve general aviation safety.  Please do not reply to this message.

FAA Expands Online Small Unmanned Aircraft Registration

Small unmanned aircraft owners can now complete the required registration process on the FAA's easy-to-use website

News & Update You are subscribed to News & Updates from the FAA Homepage. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. FAA Expands Online Small Unmanned Aircraft Registration Thursday, March 31 – Starting today, owners of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) used for commercial, public and other non-model aircraft operations will be able to use the FAA's new, streamlined, web-based registration process to register their aircraft. The web-based process will significantly speed up registration for a variety of commercial, public use and other users. Registration for those users is $5, the same low fee that model aircraft owners pay.   "Registration is an important tool to help us educate aircraft owners and safely integrate this exciting new technology into the same airspace as other aircraft operations," said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.   All owners of small UAS used for purposes other than as model aircraft must currently obtain a 333 exemption, a public certificate of authorization or other FAA authorization to legally operate, in addition to registering their aircraft. Before today, the FAA required all non-hobby unmanned aircraft owners to register their aircraft with the FAA's legacy aircraft registry in Oklahoma City, OK.   Those owners who already have registered in the legacy system do not have to re-register in the new system. However, the FAA is encouraging new owners who are registering for the first time to use the new, web-based registration system. Owners who register under the new system can easily access the records for all of the aircraft they have registered by logging into their on-line account. Small UAS owners who have registered under the web-based system who intend to use their aircraft for purposes other than as model aircraft will also need to re-register to provide aircraft specific information.   The FAA first opened up the web-based registration for model unmanned aircraft owners on Dec. 21, 2015. The agency is expanding that existing website to accommodate owners of aircraft used for purposes other than model aircraft. This registration process includes additional information on the manufacturer, model and serial number, in addition to the owner's physical and email addresses. Like the model aircraft registration process, a certificate is good for three years, but each certificate covers only one aircraft.   Register here. Please do not reply to this message.
