Status of the FAA Rule for the
Operation and Certification of
Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS)
RIN 2120-AJ60
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 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: July 23, 2012
End of Comment Period: October 23, 2012
Effective Date: 2015
