16 Airports and Unmanned Aircraft Systems Airports will need to consider their role and impact in the community and will need to identify the local stakeholders they want to engage for safety as well as public relations, such as demonstrating to the public the benefits of utilizing a new technology. Airports should consider communities based on their proximity, sensitivity, and participation.
