The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking public comments on a new survey aimed at collecting information about the operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), such as drones. The survey will focus on fatigue-related practices, necessary knowledge, skills, abilities, testing, and staffing procedures for UAS operation. This initiative is part of efforts to integrate UAS operations more effectively into the National Airspace System by gathering data that could inform future regulations. The survey expects about 180 respondents, targeting a wide range of stakeholders, and aims to enhance the understanding of UAS operations and the needs for pilot certification requirements.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to hear what people think about how drone pilots get tired and what they need to know to safely fly drones. They're asking about 180 people to take a survey to help make new rules for flying drones in the future.
