AMA has sent a letter to ICAO correcting misinformation about current recreational UAS regulation and sightings and emphasizing the importance of education in promoting airspace safety. In the letter, AMA President Rich Hanson writes: “Unfortunately, as drones have become more popular in recent years, there has been a significant amount of misinformation about the existing laws recreational UAS pilots must follow. Even those who work on drone policy sometimes inaccurately characterize the current regulatory regime governing UAS. This is why AMA has worked diligently for years to educate the public on the laws and the basic guidelines for flying responsibly.
