2023-11-15Federal Register Policy on Definition of Aeronautical Activities
★ 32The FAA proposed updating its definition of 'aeronautical activity' to include unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), advanced air mobility (AAM), and commercial space launch operations, meaning federally obligated airports must provide non-discriminatory access to these emerging technologies. The policy clarifies that while these new operations qualify for airport access, the FAA retains authority to assess safety risks and set conditions for accommodating them. Recreational UAS, model aircraft, and model rockets are explicitly excluded from the updated definition. -

AAAE Response to DOT Request for Information on Advanced Air Mobility (Docket No. DOT-OST-2023-0079)
The American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) submitted formal comments to the U.S. Department of Transportation in August 2023 regarding the future of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The letter highlights key obstacles facing airports, such as limited electrical power supply, uncertainty about commercial viability, and a lack of FAA guidance on safely integrating these new aircraft into airport facilities. It also raises concerns about new safety risks, particularly the challenges of firefighting lithium-ion battery fires from electric aircraft, urging the FAA to provide clearer emergency response protocols. -

City of Los Angeles RFI Response: Advanced Air Mobility, Docket No. DOT-OST-2023-0079
The City of Los Angeles submitted formal comments to the U.S. Department of Transportation in August 2023 regarding Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), calling for stronger local government involvement in shaping national AAM policy. The letter emphasizes safety, equity, and environmental concerns, including the need for rigorous aircraft noise, vibration, and frequency analysis to protect communities already burdened by past transportation decisions. Los Angeles urges federal agencies to require independent environmental studies and ensure that low-income communities and communities of color are not further harmed by the rollout of new aerial vehicle technologies.
