FAA Guidance & Integration
• The FAA's mission and authority as it focuses
on the integration of UAS is SAFETY.
• Civil performance standards are often more
stringent, especially in the areas of reliability.
• Public expectation for a safe aviation
environment drives very high standards.
• FAA has a responsibility to citizens to mitigate
risk.
• FAA Modernization & Reform Act of 2012
challenges
• Airspace / Airworthiness
• Certifications
• Pilot / Crew Member

Permanent Arctic Areas
- FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012
- Addressing Integration of Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems
Into the NAS
- Expanding Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Arctic
- Designate permanent areas in the Arctic where sUAS may
operate 24-hrs per day for research & commercial
purposes
- Over-water flights from the surface to at least 2000 ft AGL
- Ingress / Egress Routes from selected coastal launch sites
- Southern Arctic Area
- Bering Strait Area
- Northern Arctic Area

- Class E Airspace: ATC provides IFR
separation / No VFR separation
- Class G: No VFR or IFR separation
- Uncontrolled Airspace extends to
23,00 MSL
- VFR/IFR Flight Plans required when
operating within ADIZ
- ATC comms & Transponder required

COA Process
Pilot Certifications
• PIC Rating Requirements
• Pilot Certificate or FAA recognized equivalent
• Currency Requirements
• 3 T/O & LDG in the UAS, in previous 90 days
• Pilot’s certificate requirements under 14 CFR part 61
PEAK 3
• FAA focused on ensuring UAS pilots have an appropriate level of
understanding of 14 CFR and held to the same standards for
safety as manned aircraft pilots
• Class II Medical under 14 CFR part 67 (or recognized equivalent)
• Exceptions
7
• As required by legislation, only sUAS (55 lbs or less GTOW) will
be approved for operations in Arctic areas
• Certification
• 10-years previous experience / operations
• Lengthy & Expensive
• Airspace Restraints
• FAR Part 135 Operating Requirements: Commuter and on
Demand Operations
PEAK 3
Continued Challenges
• Pilot Certification Requirements -- accountability

Implementation Plan, FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012
• FAA Order 8130.34C – Airworthiness Certification of Unmanned
Aircraft Systems & Optionally Piloted Aircraft (8/02/13)
• FAA Notice 8900.227 – Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)
Operational Approval (7/30/13)
• FAR/AIM
• Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14CFR), Part 21, 61, 91
