Event Description/Abstract
Unmanned aerial system (UAS) registration has ballooned since the FAA expanded registration requirements. For public airport owners, operators, and managers, there is increasing concern for how to safely include UAS operations because public airports are required to reasonably accommodate all types of aeronautical activities. In this presentation a heat map of FAA-registered UAS is shown in relationship to airport locations across Indiana and operational characteristics and needs to be considered when combining UAS operations at non-towered airports are abridged for airport managers
