https://t.co/kRwHJ1QfZh Excellent article by Andy Pasztor detailing how aviation safety has improved in the US since the mid-1990s and the steps taken by FAA and industry to get there. Voluntary incident reporting, culture of safety, and data-sharing are key components.

[Andrew @uavpolicy]

The NASA-run Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) is one example of these principles in action. It is a confidential, voluntary, and non-punitive system to report aviation safety violations. Learn more at https://t.co/qV9on6Y01Y.

There are a lot of options out there to manage your fleet of drones and keep track of them in the sky, but what does it take to really scale these operations and integrate them into the national airspace? Join us tomorrow! https://t.co/nsDBnnTgQn

.@USDOT’s FAA has issued final rules that will require Remote ID of drones, and can enable operations of small drones over people and at night. These rules will accelerate the safe integration of drones into our nation’s airspace. Learn more at https://t.co/NSZQW5iv8u. #RemoteID

[Sam Mintz @samjmintz]

The huge FAA drone rule coming out this week, requiring drones to have remote identification capability, will remove a contentious part of original proposal which would have required drones to use both network and broadcast tech
