Unmanned Aircraft Issues To Be Discussed at NBAA 2014
NBAA expects to see UAS have an expanded presence at future conventions.

Two sessions at next month’s NBAA Convention in Orlando, Fla., will focus on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to provide attendees with information about upcoming regulations governing UAS operations and their potential effects on the business aviation industry. “Unmanned aircraft are a growing part of the business aviation community,” said NBAA senior vice president of conventions and membership Chris Strong. “We’re hearing more about UAS on both the regulatory and functional usage level, and NBAA 2014 offers a valuable opportunity for discussion between those familiar with the progress toward full integration into the National Airspace System [NAS], and those interested in learning more about how UAS may be beneficial to their operations.”
