Description
A draft programmatic environmental assessment (PEA) for FAA-recognized identification areas (FRIAs) is available for public review and comment. An FRIA is a defined geographic area where unmanned aircraft can be flown without remote identification equipment. Both the unmanned aircraft and the pilot must be located within the FRIA’s boundaries throughout the operation. In addition, the pilot of the unmanned aircraft must be able to see it at all times throughout the duration of the flight. Only FAA-recognized “community-based organizations” (not defined) and educational institutions are eligible to request the establishment of an FRIA. Comments on the PEA are due by or before May 3, 2023.
