The National Association of Broadcasters

Summary: The National Association of Broadcasters, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, and the Radio Television Digital News Association generally support the FAA's proposed rules for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS). They argue that sUAS will revolutionize newsgathering, sports coverage, and video production by providing safer, more cost-effective, and more creative aerial imagery. They request specific modifications to the rules, such as a streamlined waiver process and relaxations on restrictions regarding flying over people and beyond the visual line of sight.
