B-1 Chapter 1 Chapter 5 Chapter 3 Chapter 7 Chapter 9 Chapter 2 Chapter 6 Chapter 4 Chapter 8 A ppendices A P P E N D I X B To begin understanding UAS and how airports best position to support their operations, a good starting point is the modes of UAS operations and aspects of the operations airport managers should consider during planning. The following modes of UAS operations descriptions are derived from interviews with UAS operators and airport personnel with UAS experience, the operational experience of the research team gained primarily with military UAS units, and from the FAA document: Interim Operational Approval Guidance 08-01 Unmanned Aircraft System Operations in the U.S.
