FAA Guidance & Integration• The FAA's mission and authority as it focuses
on the integration of UAS is SAFETY. • Civil performance standards are often more
stringent, especially in the areas of reliability. • Public expectation for a safe aviation
environment drives very high standards.• FAA has a responsibility to citizens to mitigate
risk.
• FAA Modernization & Reform Act of 2012 challenges• Airspace / Airworthiness• Certifications

Permanent Arctic Areas- FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012
- Addressing Integration of Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems Into the NAS
- Expanding Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Arctic- Designate permanent areas in the Arctic where sUAS may
operate 24-hrs per day for research & commercial purposes
- Over-water flights from the surface to at least 2000 ft AGL- Ingress / Egress Routes from selected coastal launch sites
- Southern Arctic Area- Bering Strait Area- Northern Arctic Area

Pilot Certifications
• FAA focused on ensuring UAS pilots have an appropriate level of understanding of 14 CFR and held to the same standards for safety as manned aircraft pilots• PIC Rating Requirements
• Pilot Certificate or FAA recognized equivalent• Currency Requirements
• 3 T/O & LDG in the UAS, in previous 90 days• Pilot’s certificate requirements under 14 CFR part 61
• Class II Medical under 14 CFR part 67 (or recognized equivalent)• Exceptions

Continued Challenges
• As required by legislation, only sUAS (55 lbs or less GTOW) will be approved for operations in Arctic areas
• Certification• 10-years previous experience / operations• Lengthy & Expensive• Airspace Restraints
• FAR Part 135 Operating Requirements: Commuter and on Demand Operations• Pilot Certification Requirements -- accountability
