FAA’s James (Jim) Williams To Speak At The Small Unmanned Systems Business Exposition 2015

Patrick Egan

Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration Office Manager Jim Williams will return to address the business end-user community in San Francisco April 29th, 2015.

With the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) freshly entered into the National Register this will be an excellent and timely opportunity for interested parties to get an unfiltered, straight from the source understanding of what potential this rule holds for the commercial drone industry. There is no shortage of discussion, analysis, and speculation about dates, details, and meaning of this progressive proposal.

Many of commentators analyzing the NPRM can only guess at the background and reasoning behind the content of the NPRM, but we look forward to hearing about the ideas that the FAA has for the safe integration of sUAS/sRPAS into the National Airspace System (NAS).

Come to the sUSB Expo and be a part of the conversation.
