HAI President Advocates For UASs
The nascent industry needs regulations from one authority: the FAA.

FAA airspace preemption is the key to safe integration of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System (NAS). That was the message Helicopter Association International president Matt Zuccaro delivered to the Senate subcommittee on aviation operations, safety, and security on Tuesday. “We do not need to reinvent the wheel,” he said. “FAA airspace preemption ensures that all operators know the rules of the road—because there is one regulatory authority that oversees all of U.S. aviation.”
