78 Actual Survey Comments A P P E N D I X A What challenges has your airport experienced in either operating UAS/drones or accommodating the use of UAS/drones by contractors, tenants, and/or media? • Air space is controlled within 5 miles of airport from 200ʹ to the ground, so pilots must call ________ Center for clearance.
|
From page 79... ...
Actual Survey Comments 79 • None -- the ND Air National Guard operation has had no impact to operations. • No challenges yet.
|
From page 80... ...
80 Current Landscape of Unmanned Aircraft Systems at Airports • Authorization restrictions listed in the terms by FAA. • Operational impacts while operating UAS.
|
From page 81... ...
Actual Survey Comments 81 organizing times and locations for safe flights. None have operated on airport property as of yet.
|
From page 82... ...
82 Current Landscape of Unmanned Aircraft Systems at Airports • To date, UAS vehicles have not been used in the immediate vicinity of the airport. UA have been used by academic entities and contractors within the required notification radius.
|
From page 83... ...
Actual Survey Comments 83 • Training and collaboration for flights. • Public not aware of regulatory restrictions.
|
From page 84... ...
84 Current Landscape of Unmanned Aircraft Systems at Airports • We operate two airports. One is non-towered.
|
From page 85... ...
Actual Survey Comments 85 • Not sure what the FAA will allow. • We utilized NOTAMs and limited the operation well away from traffic patterns and maintained operation height well below 50ʹ.
|
From page 86... ...
86 Current Landscape of Unmanned Aircraft Systems at Airports following the appropriate procedures to have the operation cleared, notify the ATCT and issue the relevant NOTAM(s) beforehand.
|
From page 87... ...
Actual Survey Comments 87 • Our staff are experts on the rules and oversaw over 2,500 UAS operations conducted in 2018. Many UAS aircraft from a couple of pounds to well over 1,000 lb.

From page 88... ...
88 Current Landscape of Unmanned Aircraft Systems at Airports Not all 107 pilots are created equal, especially near or at an airport. Care and experience are needed.
|
From page 89... ...
Actual Survey Comments 89 • Do not be closed-minded to UAS. Do some research, get to know your local UAS operators, and understand that they are almost more strict in their operations than airport operators are.
|
From page 90... ...
90 Current Landscape of Unmanned Aircraft Systems at Airports • Work with your local ATCT to get their buy-in first. Also, start small (low risk)
|
From page 91... ...
Actual Survey Comments 91 • Seek advice from airports who are currently using UA. • Develop a process for approval of these uses on/near the airport.
|
From page 92... ...
92 Current Landscape of Unmanned Aircraft Systems at Airports • If the airport has a tower, all operations should be thoroughly coordinated with the tower. • They need to hire UA contractors that are led by professional aviators.
