FAA required to develop comprehensive drone integration strategy for US airspace

This law mandates the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to create a comprehensive strategy for safely incorporating drones into the national airspace. The goal is to enhance safety, maintain US technological leadership, and support economic growth in advanced aviation. Citizens can expect that this strategy will lay the groundwork for future commercial drone services (like deliveries) to operate safely and reliably.
Key points
The FAA must develop a detailed plan within 180 days to integrate civil drones into controlled airspace, aiming to improve aviation safety.
The plan must include objectives, costs, timelines, and mechanisms ensuring transparency for businesses and stakeholders, supporting innovation and commercial services.
The FAA Administrator will regularly brief Congress on the status of the strategy implementation, ensuring oversight of the drone integration process.
