The following link<\/a>\u00a0shows the summary version of the “Notice to Proposed Rulemaking”<\/a>.<\/p>\n The DOT & FAA\u00a0Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in all of its 195 page glory can be viewed here.<\/a><\/p>\n Additionally an Unmanned Aircraft Systems Fact Sheet is viewable here.<\/a><\/p>\n Good news for quadcopter and other multi-rotor pilots. The FAA accidentally posted a pdf which details their “Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Regulatory Evaluation”.\u00a0Steve Zeets is the lucky person who happened to be on the FAA website at the instant it was available online and happened to open the pdf as it was being pulled off the website. Luckily for all of us he saved a copy before losing the only “copy” available. The document was in draft form in February, so who knows what has changed since then, nevertheless it’s an interesting look into the FAA’s view Unmanned Aircraft Regulation which will affect all quadcopters, and other multirotors. All i can say i’m surely not the only one happily surprised by whats outlined in the 89 page document. Especially since currently for commercial use you need to be a holder of a PP-ASEL (Private Pilot-Airplane Single Engine Land) License. I had always thought that knowing the different classes of airspace and other rules of the air was probably a good thing for quadcopter pilots to know, but requiring them to know how to land a Cessna 152 or 172\u00a0didn’t quite make sense. Read on down for interesting quotes from the document, as well as a link to view it yourself.
