Managing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in the Vicinity of Airports

TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has released a draft document titled, "Managing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in the Vicinity of Airports" that provides guidance for airport operators and managers to manage UAS operations and related activities in and around airports. UAS operations that occur near airports may impact current and future airport operations as well as entities surrounding airports. This document explores how some airports are already taking actions to better understand and tackle the challenges associated with managing UAS at their airports, and highlights their varying degrees of success.
