News and Updates – Reminder Drone Safety Week Starts Today

Today, theFederal Aviation Administration(FAA) kicks off its first National Drone Safety Awareness Week, Nov. 4-10, 2019.

The FAAs highest priority is to ensure the safety of the National Airspace System (NAS) as we continue to safely integrate drones into the NAS. This is an opportunity to share your commitment to drone safety.

• Monday: Public Safety and Security
• Tuesday: Business Photography, Real Estate, Insurance
