Micro Unmanned Aircraft Systems Aviation Rulemaking Committee Recommendations Final Report

Micro Unmanned Aircraft Systems Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) – ARC Recommendations Final Report, April 1, 2016.
“The ARC membership represented diverse interests and viewpoints. Although some decisions were not unanimous, the ARC reached consensus on all of its recommendations to the FAA , as reflected in this report.

The ARC was focused on flight over people, and in furtherance of that goal, identified four small UAS categories, defined primarily by level of risk of injury posed, for operations over people. For each category, the ARC recommends a risk threshold that correlates to either a weight or an impact energy equivalent and , to the extent necessary to minimize the risks associated with that category, additional performance standards and operational restrictions. A chart summarizing the ARC’s recommendations is attached as Appendix B to this report…”
