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. -

Advanced Air Mobility Request for Public Comment
The Department of Transportation is seeking public comment on ‘Advanced Air Mobility’ which is a set of rules involving new forms of air transport, including drones and vertical take-off aircraft. You can read the complete description here: Federal Register-2023-10448 Since these changes will profoundly affect all aviation-impacted communities, we can use this as another chance -
2023-08-13Electric Aircraft with Multiple Rotors on Airport Tarmac
An Archer Aviation Midnight electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft bearing FAA registration N302AX sits on a tarmac, with a person in a flight suit walking nearby. The Midnight is a multi-rotor eVTOL designed for urban air mobility operations. -
2023-08-10DOT request for information on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)
A public comment submitted to the Department of Transportation argues that communities should have a stronger voice in shaping Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) policy, including drones and air taxis, before decisions are made. It calls on the FAA to conduct independent research on noise, health, environmental, and privacy impacts, and to use better noise measurement tools that reflect residents' real-world experience. The comment also urges regulators to avoid repeating mistakes made during the NextGen rollout, where communities were excluded from the process until after key decisions had already been implemented. -
2023-05-17Request for information on Advanced Air Mobility
The U.S. Department of Transportation is seeking public input to help develop a national strategy for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), which includes electric and hybrid-electric aircraft capable of vertical or short takeoff and landing. The strategy aims to address safety, infrastructure, community impacts, and regulatory frameworks for these emerging aircraft technologies. While this notice does not specifically address Sea-Tac Airport or local noise policy, noise reduction compared to traditional aviation is cited as one potential benefit of AAM operations. -
2021-04-02How will Advanced Air Mobility benefit communities?
This presentation explores how Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) can benefit local communities, featuring perspectives from aviation and planning experts including representatives from Teterboro Airport, CAMI, NBAA, and consulting firms HMMH. The panel, moderated by Gabriel Andino of Teterboro Airport, examines the potential community impacts of emerging air mobility technologies. Topics likely include noise, infrastructure, and equity considerations relevant to airport neighbors and policymakers.
