WEEKLY UPDATE FROM FAA ATO COO TERI BRISTOL
Week of Feb. 11 - 17:
Unmanned Update
Hi everyone. Last week, I talked about our efforts to integrate space operations as into
the NAS. As you know, we're doing the same for unmanned aircraf t. These vehicles are
poised to change the way we live and work.
According to the FAA's latest aerospace forecast estimates, there could be as many as
7 million drones sold in the United States by 2020. They're already being used for many
purposes like a erial photography, filmmaking, agriculture, delivery of items, surveying of
wildlife, search and rescue operations , and in many other ways.
The industry is evolving at a rapid pace. Today, we're talking about small - sized UAS,
mostly operating in sparsely populated areas, and operating within the pilot's visual line
of sight. In the months and years ahead, we'll be transitioning to UAS flying over
populated areas and beyond the pilot's visual line of sight.
