Though the ruling deals primarily with administrative procedures, the safe operation of unmanned aircraft, be it for commercial or recreational purposes, is the primary concern. The members of the Academy of Model Aeronautics have operated unmanned aircraft (model aircraft) in the national airspace for decades and have set the example for operating small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) in a safe and harmonious fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis current situation underscores the immediate need for programing to support and govern this activity. The Academy stands ready to lend its expertise and to assist the FAA in developing a safety structure that will enable and allow all sUAS to operate safely and responsibly in the national airspace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Academy of Model Aeronautics has been the nation\u2019s collective voice for approximately 164,000 modelers in 2,400 clubs in every state and Puerto Rico since 1936.
