AirNav Comments on 09-Jun-2014
Excellent stopover, service is perfect, these folks do everything they possibly can to make your stay pleasant. A pleasure to do business with these folks!
AirNav Comments on 09-Jun-2014
We were very pleased with the line and desk service for our C182. Rental car was brought to plane for loading. We were fueled up and tied down in less than 10 minutes. Similar experience on departure. Perfect location for visiting Richardson/Plano area. Would definitely use again.
AirNav Comments: on 20-Jan-2014
We stopped in on Sunday after doing practice instrument approaches and were treated very well. They were very courteous, provided a rental car at no cost when they were out of crew cars so we could get lunch and were very responsive to out needs. Erin at the front desk was very nice and responsive. Fuel was reasonably priced. This is a very positive change from how this were when we previously used this FBO. The city has taken over and we were very impressed with the positive changes. We did purchase 100 gallons of Jet A for our King Air and were glad to do some business with these new folks. We will make a point of stopping there more often in light of these positive changes. Best, Dave

Benefits of UAS
• Low initial and operating costs
• Multiple law enforcement applications helping prevent loss of life
• Commercial growth
– Aerial photogrammetry and surveys
• Less noise than manned aircraft
• Fewer emissions than manned aircraft
4
Local news…
• Drone lost on top of AT&T Stadium
• Broke hobbyist rule and flew over Downtown Dallas

UAS Policy, RegulationsFederal• FAA Modernization and Reform Act (H.R. 658)
– Mandates integration of UAS by September 2015– Selection of six UAS test ranges (including one in Texas)
• FAA Notice 8900.227– Provides policies for review, evaluation of safety, interoperability of UAS flight
operations in the NAS – Utilized when assessing applications for a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA)
• AC 91-57: Guidance for Model Aircraft/Hobbyists– FAA guidance for model aircraft flights should be kept below 400 feet AGL– Should be flown a sufficient distance from populated areas and full-scale aircraft– Not for business purposes
State• Texas House Bill 912
– Outlines 19 lawful means of acquiring imagery with the use of UAS(includes research and law enforcement purposes)
6
System Plan UAS Report Recommendations
• Data collection– Track regional UAS operations
• Planning– Infrastructure, necessary security
enhancements, airspace
• Communication–Organize regional UAS group
– Facilitate public comments on regional UAS activity
7
Arlington Unmanned Systems Consortium (USC)
• Objectives – Education, workforce development, and training
– Research, development, and commercialization
– Industry sector development
– Policy and standards development
– Access to capital
• NCTCOG/ATTAC Participation– Support aviation education, UAS workforce growth
(Wagner Peyser Grant)
– Coordinate with industry partners, educators
– Liaison to ATTAC on any outcomes
August 2012:ATTAC Approved
Continued Participation in USC

Pilot Project: Aerial Imagery Collection at Arlington Airport
• Project Partners– TxDOT
– City of Arlington (Airport and Police Department)
– FAA
• Goals– Produce six-inch resolution color digital orthophotography
– Provide completed orthophotography to local governments
– Process, analyze, and summarize collected data
– Refine data collection and processing procedures (including possible enhancements for aviation planning) and monitor progress
10
Project Feasibility
• Arlington City Council approves Arlington Police Department (APD) operation of sUAS
• APD’s COA allows operation within city limits
• HB912 allows for image capture above public property by law enforcement
11
Anticipated Benefits
• Arlington Airport: Gains high resolution aerial imagery and airport GIS data
• APD: Demonstrates additional cost savings, capabilities of a municipal asset
• NCTCOG: Collection of imagery, GIS data complementary to aviation system planning goals
• Will demonstrate ability to capture data for a variety of other transportation projects
12
NCTCOG sUAS Projects
Proposed Project Area
13
Online UAS Flight Data Reporting System Grant
Agency: Department of Justice (National Institute of Justice)
Purpose: Develop, maintain, and host web-based reporting system to collect flight-operations data from law enforcement and other public safety agencies use of sUAS
Goal: More informed analysis, documentation, research of this technology’s use while:
– Complementing FAA UAS integration efforts– Providing access to comprehensive data and reporting of sUAS flight
activities
Objectives: Dynamic website with relevant content and data that promotes safe, effective, lawful use of sUAS
14
Online UAS Flight Data Reporting System Grant
If awarded, work would being next calendar year (2015).
ATTAC may be asked to serve in an advisory role.
Partners:• NCTCOG - LEAD
