FAA Urges Non-hobby UAS Registration Via New System April 21- What's not to like about an automated government system that's faster, simpler and more user-friendly than the paper-based system it supplements?   In a Federal Register notice (PDF), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officially notified owners of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) used for commercial, public and other non-model aircraft operations they may now use the FAA's new, streamlined, web-based registration process to register their aircraft.  The system became available to these owners March 30.   All owners of small UAS used for purposes other than as model aircraft must currently obtain a Section 333 exemption grant, a certificate of waiver or authorization, or other FAA authorization to operate legally in U.S. airspace. Registration is one of the requirements associated with a Section 333 exemption.   Previously, these UAS owners had to fill out paper aircraft registration forms and physically mail them to the FAA Registry in Oklahoma City. The process often took weeks to accomplish because of the volume of requests the Registry was receiving.     Many exemptions, mostly issued before the web-based registration system was created, required aircraft to be registered using the paper process and to be marked with an "N-number." The notice specifically advised exemption holders that aircraft operated under Section 333 exemptions can now be registered using the web-based system.   In contrast to paper registration, web-based registration significantly speeds up the process. It is easier to use and takes much less time to complete than the legacy system. Registration for operators is $5 per aircraft, the same low fee that manned aircraft owners pay.   UAS owners who already registered in the legacy paper-based system and received an N-number for their aircraft do not have to re-register. Owners who register under the new system can easily access the records for all of their aircraft by logging into their on-line account.

UAS Symposium Broadens Dialogue on Integration

FAA News & Updates

UAS Symposium Broadens Dialogue on Integration April 21- The FAA held a UAS Symposium in conjunction with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University this week to broaden the dialogue with industry and the public on how to safely integrate unmanned aircraft into the National Airspace System.       FAA Administrator Michael Huerta and Deputy Administrator Mike Whitaker both noted the tremendous progress the FAA and industry have made on integration by working together collaboratively. They called on the attendees to build on this success by helping the FAA frame the next steps for future collaboration on the bigger integration challenges.    "Working together, we have accomplished a truly incredible amount in the last couple of years. But we're still really at the beginning of the process," Huerta said during his keynote address. "We need to start thinking about bigger challenges, so I propose that we use this symposium to frame these challenges together."    Huerta noted safety is a shared responsibility. He said the FAA-industry partnership is working because both respect that they sometimes have different viewpoints but ultimately find common ground. This has resulted in a string of recent accomplishments.    For example, the FAA assembled a diverse task force last fall that helped create a robust drone registration system in record time. Today, more than 425,000 people have registered their drones, absorbing the FAA's shared safety message in the process.    Based on the success of the registration task force, the FAA formed an aviation rulemaking committee in March to develop recommendations for how the agency could allow certain unmanned aircraft to operate over people. The committee delivered a comprehensive report earlier this month that will help shape a new rule.    The agency has also streamlined the Section 333 and UAS test site processes to make it easier to fly. The small UAS rule, which will be finalized in late spring, will allow for routine commercial drone operations and eliminate the need for most Section 333 exemptions.    The wide-ranging viewpoints and feedback provided during the UAS Symposium will inform the FAA's long-term discussion on UAS integration. It will also mark the beginning of a new phase of the collaboration that will help the FAA identify and prioritize integration challenges. Administrator Huerta will report on next steps during AUVSI's XPONENTIAL in May. Please do not reply to this message. See our Contact FAA page for contact information.
