President Trump recently announced the new Unmanned Aircraft
Systems (UAS) Integration Pilot Program to accelerate the integration of UAS
into our nation’s busy airspace and to spur innovation.
The UAS Integration Pilot Program
will seek partnerships between state, local,
and tribal government entities and private industry to gather operational and
other data from advanced operational concepts, such as flights over people and
package delivery. It will also enable state, local, or tribal entities to
determine what kind of pilot program activities, subject to FAA safety
oversight, will occur in their respective jurisdictions.
The results will help to inform safe UAS operations and help
to transition many of the new and novel operational concepts that we manage
today by exception into routine, commonplace aspects of our everyday lives.
 Details about applying, timelines, and requirements will
soon be provided in a Federal Register notice and in a Screening Information
Request (SIR). Links to both documents will be available at FAA.gov/Go/DronePilot. You
may also subscribe to receive email updates from the FAA.
If you are interested in the UAS Integration
Pilot Program, we encourage you to participate in one of the three
upcoming webinars. Each webinar will provide you with an overview of the
Program, application process, and the specific criteria and deadlines that you
will be required to meet. Please register for one session only as they cover
the same content.

The webinars will be held on the following times. Registration is required to attend.
Thank you for your interest in the UAS Drone Integration Pilot Program.
