The FAA has named 35 business, association, municipal and academic leaders to serve on a new Drone Advisory Committee (DAC) to advise it on introducing unmanned aircraft into the national airspace system. RTCA, a not-for-profit organization that functions as a federal advisory body to the FAA, announced the membership on August 31.

The committee’s first public meeting is scheduled for September 16 at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
