摘要: |
A top-level review on the applicability of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) operating in the National Airspace System (NAS) was conducted under this research effort. The goal of this review was to systematically examine the relevant federal regulations, statutes, orders, and policies to identify the known issues resulting from the rapid growth of UAS technology. The review went through sections of 14 CFR to assess their applicability to UAS operating in the NAS based on their face values, i.e. not the intent of the rule, rather a direct understanding of the text. The review results were categorized into four levels: Clearly Apply, May Apply by Interpretation, Does not Apply, and Could Apply With Revision. Reviews of other relevant documents, including the Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circulars, Technical Standard Orders, and Airman Information Manual, were also evaluated. Some of the documents were examined more closely. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Federal Aviation Administration, Washington, DC. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
