Status of the FAA Rule for the
Operation and Certification of
Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS)
RIN 2120-AJ60
Abstract: This rulemaking would enable small unmanned aircraft to safely operate in limited portions of the national airspace system (NAS). This action is necessary because it addresses the novel legal or policy issues about the minimum safety parameters for operating recreational remote control model and toy aircraft in the NAS. The intended effect of this action is to develop requirements and standards to ensure that risks are adequately mitigated, such that safety is maintained for the entire aviation community.
Rulemaking Project Initiated: 07/28/2009
Status: NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rule Making)
Publication Date: 05/10/2012
End of Comment Period: 08/10/2012
Effective Date: 2013 or 2014
