INTRODUCTION The recreational use of drones continues to gain popularity throughout the country. A 2015 report published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) predicts that 1.9 million unmaned aircraft system (UAS) units, more commonly known as drones, will be purchased by “hobbyists” in the United States in 2016. The number of units purchased is forecasted to continue growing in subsequent years with a predicated average annual growth rate of 23 percent through 2020. An article published in The Economist titled, “Welcome to the Drone Age: Miniature Pilotless Aircraft are on the Verge of Becoming Commonplace,” likens the increasing popularity of drones to the rise of personal computers in the 1980’s. For a relatively low cost, drones with photography and videography capabilities, flying speeds surpassing 100 MPH and the ability to fly more than 500 feet above the ground are being purchased by individuals who may not have had previous interest or experience in aeronautics. The rate at which drones are being purchased is occurring much faster than law makers can regulate their use. As this once military technology enters into the public, consumer driven arena, the need to understand, define, regulate and ultimately integrate drone technology has become a conversation of growing importance and urgency. With little regulation at the local, state and even federal level, there is much ambiguity regarding the safety and legality of unmanned aircraft systems. By law, the FAA has authority over ensuring the “safe and efficient use of U.S airspace.” Additionally, “the FAA has a statutory duty to, "encourage the development of civil aeronautics.” As a result, the FAA is tasked with creating safety mandates without “stifling innovation and the development of commercial drone markets.” Balancing these mandates is likely one reason for the current lack of drone regulation and the FAA’s authority over creating legislation has left state and local governments unsure about their role in drone regulation and restriction. On April 3, 2013 Virginia became the first state to pass a law regulating drone use. At the conclusion of the 2016 legislative session, the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) reported that 30 states had adopted legislation to control and or prohibit the use of drones. Examples of successful legislation include laws that prohibit drone owners from: using drones as weapons, infringing on the privacy of others through video and photography capabilities and gaining an unfair advantage when fishing, hunting or trapping through the utilization of drone technology. Drone legislation has been proposed at the Connecticut General Assembly during the 2014, 2015 and 2016 legislative sessions but a law has yet to be adopted. The recent increase in drone popularity for recreational use has resulted in a more vocal conversation about needed regulations. This CCM Government Finance & Research Municipal InfoKit, Regulating Drone Use, was constructed to update municipal officials on the conversation surrounding drones. This InfoKit will touch upon legal issues regarding drone regulation, relay recent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, provide an overview and examples of laws that have been passed in other states, update municipal leaders on recent and current efforts to address drone use in Connecticut and discuss local authority in regulating drones.

Q&A Drones What is a drone? The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), more commonly known as drones, as an aircraft, “flown by a pilot via a ground control system, or autonomously through use of an on-board computer, communication links and any additional equipment that is necessary for the un- manned aircraft to operate safely.” A UAS used for rec- reational purposes falls under the general classification of a model aircraft. In a publication titled, “Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Frequently Asked Question,” the FAA defines model aircrafts in the following way: governments do, however, have the authority to reg- ulate the use of drones within their departments and A model aircraft is an unmanned aircraft that is capa- institutions such as the use of drones by their police ble of sustained flight in the atmosphere, flown within departments. visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft, and flown only for hobby or recreational purposes… Model aircraft can include small Unmanned Aircraft Has Connecticut passed legislation Systems (UAS) aircraft, such as “quadcopters,” flown regulating drone use? for recreational or hobby purposes.

Committee Study,” and the Public Safety and Security Who regulates drone use? Committee have introduced “An Act Concerning the Use of Drones,” during the 2016 legistlative session. By law, the FAA has authority over ensuring the “safe and efficient use of U.S airspace,” and a statutory duty to “encourage the development of civil aeronautics.” As a result, the FAA is tasked with creating safety mandates without discouraging aeronautical innova- tion. Balancing these mandates has resulted in the FAA taking an “incremental” approach to UAS regulation with the goal of integrating drones and drone technol- ogy safely, efficiently, and timely. The first mandate to come out of the FAA’s incremental approach, effective December 21, 2015, requires that all drones over .55 pounds (250 grams) be registered with the FAA’s Un- manned Aircraft System registry prior to being flown outside. Registration cost is $5.00 and the document- ed owner must be at least 13 years of age to register. What can state and local governments do to regulate drones? The FAA has asserted that federal regulation preempts state or local statue or regulation.

  • The Human Planet
    INTRODUCTION: THE HUMAN PLANET our and a half billion years ago, out of the dirty halo of cosmic dust left over from the creation of our sun, a spinning clump of minerals F coalesced. Earth was born, the third rock from the sun. Soon after, a big rock crashed into our planet, shaving a huge chunk off, forming the moon and knocking our world on to a tilted axis. The tilt gave us seasons and currents and the moon brought ocean tides. These helped provide the conditions for life, which first emerged some 4 billion years ago. Over the next 3.5 billion years, the planet swung in and out of extreme glaciations. When the last of these ended, there was an explosion of complex multicellular life forms. The rest is history, tattooed into the planet’s skin in three-dimensional fossil portraits of fantastical creatures, such as long-necked dinosaurs and lizard birds, huge insects and alien fish. The emergence of life on Earth fundamentally changed the physics of the planet.1 Plants sped up the slow 1 429HH_tx.indd 1 17/09/2014 08:22 ADVENTURES IN THE ANTHROPOCENE breakdown of rocks with their roots, helping erode channels down which rainfall coursed, creating rivers. Photosynthesis transformed the chemistry of the atmosphere and oceans, imbued the Earth system with chemical energy, and altered the global climate. Animals ate the plants, modifying again the Earth’s chemistry. In return, the physical planet dictated the biology of Earth. Life evolves in response to geological, physical and chemical conditions. In the past 500 million years, there have been five mass extinctions triggered by supervolcanic erup- tions, asteroid impacts and other enormous planetary events that dramatically altered the climate.2 After each of these, the survivors regrouped, proliferated and evolved.

  • Deadly Profits: Illegal Wildlife Trafficking Through Uganda And
    Cover: The carcass of an elephant killed by militarized poachers. Garamba National Park, DRC, April 2016. Photo: African Parks Deadly Profits Illegal Wildlife Trafficking through Uganda and South Sudan By Ledio Cakaj and Sasha Lezhnev July 2017 Executive Summary Countries that act as transit hubs for international wildlife trafficking are a critical, highly profitable part of the illegal wildlife smuggling supply chain, but are frequently overlooked. While considerable attention is paid to stopping illegal poaching at the chain’s origins in national parks and changing end-user demand (e.g., in China), countries that act as midpoints in the supply chain are critical to stopping global wildlife trafficking. They are needed way stations for traffickers who generate considerable profits, thereby driving the market for poaching. This is starting to change, as U.S., European, and some African policymakers increasingly recognize the problem, but more is needed to combat these key trafficking hubs. In East and Central Africa, South Sudan and Uganda act as critical waypoints for elephant tusks, pangolin scales, hippo teeth, and other wildlife, as field research done for this report reveals. Kenya and Tanzania are also key hubs but have received more attention. The wildlife going through Uganda and South Sudan is largely illegally poached at alarming rates from Garamba National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, points in West Africa, and to a lesser extent Uganda, as it makes its way mainly to East Asia. Worryingly, the elephant

  • Airworthiness Requirements Ac S – Areas of Operation: Task B
    AIRWORTHINESS REQUIREMENTS AC S – AREAS OF OPERATION: TASK B How do you prepare for a flight? PAVE: Pilot, Aircraft Environment and External Pressures. PILOT A pilot must continually make decisions about competency, condition of health, mental and emotional state, level of fatigue, and many other variables. AIRCRAFT A pilot frequently bases decisions on evaluation of the airplane, such as performance, equipment, or airworthiness. This task will concentrate on the aircraft (ASEL – Airplane Single Engine Land). ENVIRONMENT The environment encompasses many elements that are not pilot or airplane related, including such factors as weather, air traffic control (ATC), navigational aids, terrain, takeoff and landing areas and surrounding obstacles. Weather is one element that can change drastically over time and distance. EXTERNAL PRESSURES The pilot must evaluate the three previous areas to decide on the desirability of under- taking or continuing the flight as planned. It is worth asking why the flight is being made, how critical it is to maintain the schedule, and if the trip is worth the risks. P – Pilot for the Private Pilot: Start with I’M SAFE: Illness, medication, stress, alcohol (.04), fatigue (acute and chronic) and eating/emotional factors. If any of these factors apply, you should not fly. As a private pilot, you are required to carry your pilot’s certificate, medical and a government ID. As a private pilot, you are allowed to carry passengers (not for hire) – 61.113, fly when visibility is less than 3 miles (SVFR – Special VFR) and can fly without visual reference to the surface. Special requirements for the Private Pilot are: Must be a Private Pilot to take off and land within (KSFO) Class B Airspace (AIM 3-2-3) and can fly at night.
