discussion dealt with the Executive Order requiring the elimination of two regulations for
ev ery new regulation introduced. The panel discussed how, in the case of UAS
integration, the introduction of new rules or regulations a ctuall y speeds up integration.
Absent UAS rules and regulations, UAS operations are handled individually, by
exception. That process is time consuming and requires unsustainable levels of FAA
manpower to process proponent requests.
In addition to the panel, Mr. Weidner, Mr. Richards , and FAA counterpart, John Page,
gave a UAS presenta tion during breakout sessions. Good questions were asked and the
informatio n presented was well received. Mr. Weidner also briefed the NATCA ASI
commit tee on the Thursd ay immediately following CFS.
