Hi fellow ASOGers, since we have a good number of American professional commercial/public safety UAS operators/ASOs in the group, I though this press release from the FAA would be of interest, i.e., New Unmanned Aircraft (UA) (a.k.a. Drone) Remote Identification requirements and a change to “Operations Over People and at Night rule.”
