This panel discussion came about through The Aviation Safety & Security Program’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program, which is centered around the semiannual Safety Management Systems for Remotely Piloted Vehicles course. Anyone interested in this effort may enroll in the course, which will again take place April 18-22, 2016.
