Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) annoncerede i dag Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) luftrumsrestriktioner over yderligere nationale sikkerhedsfølsomme steder med virkning fra den 7. november.

I samarbejde med sine føderale partnere vil FAA begrænse UAS-operationer i luftrummet over 60 yderligere afdelinger for forsvars- og justitsministeriet for at imødegå bekymringer om ondsindet droneaktivitet. En FAA Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), FDC 9/7752, definerer disse særlige sikkerhedsinstruktioner. FAA har offentliggjort en ny NOTAM, FDC 9/1278, som advarer UAS-operatører og andre i luftfartssamfundet om denne ændring og peger på FDC 9/7752.

UAS-operatører rådes kraftigt til at gennemgå disse NOTAM'er samt vigtige understøttende oplysninger fra FAA's UAS Data Delivery System (UDDS) hjemmeside. Denne hjemmeside indeholder teksten til FDC 9/7752.

Længere nede på siden er et interaktivt kort ("Kort over FAA UAS-data"), der viser begrænset luftrum i hele USA. Zoom ind vil gøre det muligt for seerne at klikke på hver af de 60 nye DOD- og DOJ-lokationer og se de specifikke begrænsninger. Hver af de 60 lokationer er i gult, da begrænsningerne er afventende indtil ikrafttrædelsesdatoen den 7. november, hvorefter de bliver røde.

Begrænsningerne vil også blive inkluderet i FAAs B4UFLY-mobilapp.

UAS-operatører, der overtræder disse flyrestriktioner, kan blive udsat for håndhævelsesforanstaltninger, herunder potentielle civilstraf og strafferetlige anklager.

FAA overvejer anmodninger fra berettigede føderale sikkerhedsagenturer om UAS-specifikke flyrestriktioner ved at bruge sin bemyndigelse i henhold til 14 CFR § 99.7. Agenturet vil annoncere eventuelle fremtidige ændringer, herunder yderligere lokationer, efter behov.
