FAA to Brief Charlotte Residents on Metroplex Procedures

FAA News and Updates

FAA to Brief Charlotte Residents on Metroplex Procedures May 12- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will hold a public meeting on new air traffic control procedures for flights at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) that will be effective on May 31, 2016.   Dennis Roberts, FAA Southern Regional Administrator, will brief the community from 6 to 8 p.m. on May 19, 2016, at the Charlotte Police and Fire Training Academy, 1770 Shopton Road, Charlotte, NC, 28217.   The new procedures are part of the FAA's Metroplex initiative, a comprehensive plan to improve the flow of air traffic at airports in major metropolitan areas nationwide. They include three new Standard Instrument Departure procedures for flights heading to the northeast and southeast of the airport. The initial departure tracks are the same as aircraft fly today.  However, the departure track splits into two different directions when the aircraft are at or above 3,000 to 6,000 feet giving air traffic controllers more options for directing flights. The third departure route combines two procedures into one. The FAA also is modifying a new Standard Terminal Arrival Route for flights approaching CLT from the northeast. The flight track remains the same below 16,000 feet.    The FAA conducted an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the changes, which included three public meetings, in the Charlotte area, in December 2014 and January 2015. The EA resulted in a Finding of No Significant Impact in June 2015.   The FAA will hold another meeting in June or July to brief the public on additional air traffic procedures, which will be implemented on July 24, 2016. Please do not reply to this message. See our Contact FAA page for contact information.

FAA Expands Drone Detection Pathfinder Initiative

FAA News & Updates

News & Update You are subscribed to News & Updates from the FAA Homepage. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. FAA Expands Drone Detection Pathfinder Initiative May 9- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is expanding the part of its Pathfinder Program that focuses on detecting and identifying unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) flying too close to airports.    Today the FAA signed Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRDAs) with Gryphon Sensors, Liteye Systems Inc. and Sensofusion. The FAA will evaluate procedures and technologies designed to identify unauthorized UAS operations in and around airports. This research effort, part of the FAA's Pathfinder Initiative, addresses one of the significant challenges to safe integration of UAS into the nation's airspace.    "Sometimes people fly drones in an unsafe manner," said Marke "Hoot" Gibson, FAA Senior Advisor on UAS Integration. "Government and industry share responsibility for keeping the skies safe, and we're pleased these three companies have taken on this important challenge."    "Gryphon Sensors, LLC is excited to collaborate with the FAA on utilizing technologies that detect, track and identify errant or hostile UAS in and around our nation's airports and sensitive areas.  Detecting these threats is challenging because most of them are very small, fly low to the ground and can be pre-programed to fly autonomously," said Gryphon Sensors President Tony Albanese.    "Our AUDS team is very excited to join the FAA's efforts to counter rogue UAVs," stated Thomas Scott, President of Liteye Systems. He added, "As the legitimate use of unmanned vehicles becomes more prevalent in many industries, unfortunately this large number of aircraft also makes them readily available for illicit use. With the right technologies we can assist the UAV operator to conduct his mission, while protecting against those who wish us harm." Sensofusion, Inc. CEO Tuomas Rasila said, "We first developed the technology to detect, locate, track, and gain control over UAS three years ago as a military project and operated it with three European armies under NATO. Fast forward to the present time, and AIRFENCE is now protecting various customer sites in Europe, including prisons, high profile government buildings, police, and military sites. Since the technology is software based, it improves with over-the-air updates, ensuring that we are always ahead of the commercial UAS market."   The companies' prototype UAS sensor detection systems will be evaluated at airports selected by the FAA. The agency and its federal government partners – particularly the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – will work with the companies to study how effective their respective technologies are, while ensuring they do not interfere with the safety and security of normal airport operations.    The CRDAs with Gryphon, Liteye and Sensofusion expand upon collaborative efforts with industry to develop system standards to identify unauthorized UAS flights near airports, which could pose a hazard to manned aircraft. The agency has seen a steep increase in reports of small UAS close to airports over the last two years.    The FAA has also partnered with DHS and CACI International on similar research to explore how that company's prototype detection technology may help detect UAS.    The FAA supports DHS in an inter-agency effort to meet the threat of unauthorized UAS from a "whole of government" perspective. Other participating federal agencies include: the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, U.S. Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Please do not reply to this message.

FAA Administrator Makes Two Major Drone Announcements

May 4: FAA will establish a drone advisory committee and make it easier for students to fly drones

News & Update You are subscribed to News & Updates from the FAA Homepage. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. FAA Administrator Makes Two Major Drone Announcements  Speaking today at the AUVSI annual conference in New Orleans, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta announced the agency is establishing a broad-based advisory committee that will provide advice on key unmanned aircraft integration issues. He also announced plans to make it easier for students to fly unmanned aircraft as part of their coursework. Huerta said the drone advisory committee is an outgrowth of the successful stakeholder-based UAS registration task force and the MicroUAS aviation rulemaking committee. Those panels were set up for a single purpose and for limited duration. In contrast, the drone advisory committee is intended to be a long-lasting group. It will help identify and prioritize integration challenges and improvements, and create broad support for an overall integration strategy. "Input from stakeholders is critical to our ability to achieve that perfect balance between integration and safety," Huerta said. "We know that our policies and overall regulation of this segment of aviation will be more successful if we have the backing of a strong, diverse coalition." Huerta said he has asked Intel CEO Brian Krzanich to chair the group. Huerta also announced the FAA will start allowing students to operate UAS for educational and research purposes today.   As a result, schools and students will no longer need a Section 333 exemption or any other authorization to fly provided they follow the rules for model aircraft. Faculty will be able to use drones in connection with helping their students with their courses.   "Schools and universities are incubators for tomorrow's great ideas, and we think this is going to be a significant shot in the arm for innovation," Huerta said. ### Please do not reply to this message.
