FAA. - What is an unmanned aircraft system (UAS)?

A UAS is the unmanned aircraft (UA) and all of the associated support equipment, control station, data links, telemetry, communications and navigation equipment, etc., necessary to operate the unmanned aircraft.

The UA is the flying portion of the system, flown by a pilot via a ground control system, or autonomously through use of an on-board computer, communication links and any additional equipment that is necessary for the UA to operate safely. The FAA issues an experimental airworthiness certificate for the entire system, not just the flying portion of the system.

I think the AF calls them drones.

Sometimes you just cant make this stuff up. Just when you think MSNBC couldn't get worse, they surpass themselves......

Pilots can be really stupid too. We have pilots that go over $100,000 in debt for a $25,000/year job. At least the journalists' stupidy does not financially ruin their lives.

Ooh! My turn!

Yeah! Anyone who has a dream to play pro sports is stupid too! Hahahaha. Everyone knows less than 1% of college athletes will ever make money playing a sport. All those dummies should quit.

Wait, I have another one!

Yeah! People who go to school to become a doctor and then only work for charities in 3rd world countries are stupid! Why work so hard and spend so much money if you'll never be a millionaire. Dummies!

Yep agree totally. After talking to a couple of PSA guys on the jumpseat about this TA I honestly have to say I'm surprised. With all the conditional language in that TA I can't fathom how somebody would vote for it. Whatever.

I didn't really give one rip or another about this merger until now. If anything I was leaning towards approval because it would probably be best for the employees. But now that this TA has been voted in that threatens us all, I hope this the DOJ wins and this merger goes down in flames. If the merger goes down, this TA goes with it.

MSNBC brings her on as a guest commentator all the time. Particularly her gal pal Mika on Morning Joe.

My friend, you really need to STOP being an advocate for the race to the bottom!! Your bullet points here make absolutely NO sense for this argument.

First off, Any athlete who has a chance of making it pro DOES NOT pay 100-150k learning to throw a pass or hit a ball, in fact they RECEIVE a scholarship worth that much in order to further said dream. What they choose to do with that education is anyone's guess.

Your doctor argument is also stupid. Yes, they do spend a ton of money to gain their education, but if they want to work for free in a 3rd world country, that is their CHOICE. If they were REQUIRED to work in said 3rd world country for 3-5 years in order to gain experience, then your argument here would be spot on!

Please educate yourself as to why this PSA agreement is incredible bad for the industry...
