FAA proposes new rules for small unmanned aircraft
The Federal Aviation Administration today is publishing new proposed rules for “small unmanned aircraft systems” — commonly (but not entirely accurately) referred to as “drones” — that would require an operator certificate and the user to be at least 17 years old. The proposed rules also would dictate when and where and how such “unmanned aerial systems,” such as (but not limited to) the type controlled by smartphones and tablets could be flown.
