You won't see unmanned drones flying at US civilian airports. Nor, in most cases, anywhere in US civilian airspace. Drones aren't allowed here because we don't know how to safely integrate them into civilian airspace. There's a controversial effort inside FAA to come up with rules for UAVs and it's going very slowly and carefully. The arrogance of us flying drones in Djibouti and Seychelles civilian airspace when we won't let them in our own airspace is pretty amazing.
- Evbn 14y agoI don't know about Djibouti or Seychelles, but depending on their air traffic level, it may be similar to certain testing areas in the US, less dense and intense than something like LAX. Not saying the drone operators are playing fair and safe, just making room.
- SEJeff 14y agoThe Shadow 200 TUAV has been flying in AZ near and all around Ft Huachuca, AZ since before 2001, when I was flying them there. It has an "experimental" FAA designation and we would frequently hold for civi aircraft. Look it up if you don't believe me :)
