TRB Webinar: The Day of the Drones: Airports and Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Part 1

The rapid introduction of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) affects the national airspace system and its existing stakeholders. TRB hosted a webinar on Tuesday, April 20, 2021 from 2:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern that addressed the range of new safety, economic, operational, regulatory, community, environmental, and infrastructure challenges to airports that have emerged due to UAS. Presenters identified resources that airports can immediately use to avoid adverse impacts and maximize benefits. This is the first in a two-part webinar series.
