On August 13, 2020, HAI VP of Operations Chris Martino and panelists James McCabe, senior director of standards facilitation at the American National Standards Institute, and Arthur Hinaman, manager of the FAA’s Technical Support Branch, discussed how the safe integration of UAS into national and international airspace systems will be achieved and the next steps and timelines for completing them.

The panelists also emphasized the importance of getting involved in developing the standards, saying that they need the input of the rotorcraft community, which conducts low-altitude operations and thus shares airspace with UAS. Stay tuned for the Q&A with the panelists after the webinar!
