How do we define a sUAS?

RPR · Apr 4, 2019

My definition of a sUAS is a vehicle that can handle the hustle, aids on your grind, with a stable BUILD (FYI: I am back to flying Build 784) and a sUAS that can complete each missions, regardless of its classification. Today marked another good day, with the TH Plus. And to the young bloods that ask me questions of how I got into the industry.

This industry is not rocket science, don't let the impossible get in your way, and don't let anyone discourage. Go out, and do your hustle.

Does not matter how we define it. Congress and the FAA have defined it, and they are all that matters.

From P.L. 115-254:

“(9) SMALL UNMANNED AIRCRAFT.—The term ‘small unmanned aircraft’ means an unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds, including the weight of anything attached to or carried by the aircraft.

“(11) UNMANNED AIRCRAFT.—The term ‘unmanned aircraft’ means an aircraft that is operated without the possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the aircraft.

“(12) UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM.—The term ‘unmanned aircraft system’ means an unmanned aircraft and associated elements (including communication links and the components that control the unmanned aircraft) that are required for the operator to operate safely and efficiently in the national airspace system.
