Brief Description:

The Unmanned Aircraft Safety Team (UAST) is an industry-government partnership committed to ensuring the safe operations of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).  UAST is adopting the same collaborative model as the General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) & Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST)

The UAST supports the safe integration of UAS with data-driven safety enhancements and collaboration amongst members of the UAS industry.  FAA Administrator Michael Huerta announced the formation of the team on August 2, 2016. Administrator Huerta committed that the FAA would work with stakeholders to charter a team to address safety issues related to the increasing number of UAS operations.  Come learn how the drone revolution and general aviation are merging safety culture into remote identification, 107 regulations, the new flight standards for remote pilot certification, and how the UAST will impact general and unmanned aviation in 2019.
