ABC Comments on DOT's Drone Rulemaking

On Oct. 6, ABC commented on the U.S. Department of Transportation's proposed rule: Normalizing Unmanned Aircraft Systems Beyond Visual Line of Sight Operations. The comments welcomed the Federal Aviation Administration's proposed Part 108 as a framework for beyond visual line of sight operations and highlighted the critical role of UAS in construction, emphasizing their positive impact on safety, efficiency, and the construction workforce. In addition, ABC urged the FAA to consider revisions to the proposal's sections on Shielded Operations Near Structures and Population Density and LandScan Categories to better reflect the construction industry's operating environment.
