Notice of Aviation Rule-making: Unmanned Aircraft correction (more time)

Ok in my haste to get the info out earlier it seems I had the date wrong. The meeting is on the 19th register by the 12th. Lets hope Renee Butner is ready for all the calls. Please give us feedback of the experience.

If you have an opinion on the future commercial use of small unmanned aircraft in the USA you can make your point on the December 19, 2013, but you must register before the 12th of December.

It should be noted that the committee has not made this process widely known to the small unmanned aircraft community.

The public must arrange by December 12, 2013 to present oral statements at the meeting. The public may present written statements to the Aviation Rule-making Advisory Committee by providing 25 copies to the Designated Federal Officer.
