"The FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] is using this same methodology to manage the integration of the new UAS technology into the NAS [National Airspace System]. While UASs offer a promising new technology, the limited safety and operational data available to date does not yet support expedited or full integration into the NAS. Because current available data is insufficient to allow unfettered integration of UASs into the NAS—where the public travels everyday—the FAA must continue to move forward deliberately and cautiously, in accordance with our safety mandate."
