The completion of this important project puts us one step closer to enabling a regrettably restrained domestic industry that is poised to infuse tens of billions of dollars into the US economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe agency\u2019s roadmap illustrates a necessary and comprehensive process for integrating highly sophisticated unmanned aircraft into the national airspace alongside manned aircraft operations. However, FAA\u2019s plan speaks minimally to the recreational use of small unmanned aircraft (model aircraft) and the emerging community of amateur personal-use UAS enthusiasts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cModel aircraft operations are managed by AMA\u2019s community-based safety program, and modelers have operated their aircraft safely and harmoniously in the NAS for decades. However, recent advancements in computerized microelectronics, brushless electric motors and light-weight high-capacity batteries have fostered a new segment of small UAS enthusiasts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Academy of Model Aeronautics has worked cooperatively with the FAA for the past several years developing and updating AMA\u2019s safety guidelines governing the aeromodeling activity. The Academy is now prepared to extend its community-based programming and lend its experience and expertise in support of the growing amateur personal-use community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/news\/press_releases\/news_story.cfm?newsId=15334\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to see the FAA\u2019s Press Release and links to the UAS Roadmap.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/news\/speeches\/news_story.cfm?newsId=15354\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to read FAA Administrator Huerta&#8217;s speech<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Academy of Model Aeronautics \u00a0FAA\u2019s Integration of Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the National Airspace System Roadmap Bob Brown, president of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), released the following statement regarding the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s (FAA) Roadmap for the Integration of Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) into the National [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3955,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1638"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1638\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1643,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1638\/revisions\/1643"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
