Study on identifying the role of the International Civil Aviation comes to welcome new proposals for initiatives in the field of civil aviation safety and security initiatives aimed at increasing the level of safety in terms of registering a growth of air traffic and global climatic changes....

This article describes how small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) are growing at a rapid pace. They are inexpensive and widely available for both hobbyist and commercial use. However, with this rapid growth, regulations are having a difficult time keeping pace to safely incorporate them into the...
