»Hawaii among states selected by FAA for drone testing
ξ became operational on May 5, 2014

ξ Hawaii has been selected to be a test bed for increased drone flights
ξ FAA seeks to create rules of the air and incorporate an ever-expanding number of the flying robots into the nation's airspace
ξ Hawaii, Alaska and Oregon are part of a partnership that was selected to become one of six groups nationwide
ξ for the effort, with backers hoping the Aloha State would become a mecca for unmanned vehicle research, testing and certification,
ξ creating science jobs and adding millions to the economy along the way

ξ Pohakuloa Training Area on Hawaii island,
ξ the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai and even
ξ the island of Niihau
ξ have been included in discussions of places where the testing could occur

ξ The Hawaii selection came through a partnership with the University of Alaska.
ξ "The University of Alaska proposal contained a diverse set of test site range locations
ξ in seven climatic zones as well as geographic diversity with test site range locations in Hawaii and Oregon," the FAA said.
ξ The research plan includes the development of a set of standards for unmanned aircraft categories, state monitoring and navigation.
ξ Sites in Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Texas and a Virginia-New Jersey partnership also were selected.

ξ The FAA said it is confident that the agency's research goals including system safety and data gathering,
ξ aircraft certification, command and control issues, control station layout and certification and environmental impacts will be met.

ξ "Each test site operator will manage the test site in a way that will give access to parties interested in using the site.
ξ The FAA's role is to ensure each operator sets up a safe testing environment and
ξ to provide oversight that guarantees each site operates under strict safety standards," the agency said.

ξ The FAA said it recognized "it was important to have requirements ensuring that privacy and civil liberties are protected at the test sites."
ξ Among other requirements, test site operators must comply with federal, state, and other laws protecting an individual's right
ξ to privacy, have publicly available privacy policies and a written plan for data use and retention,
ξ and conduct an annual review of privacy practices that allows for public comment, the FAA said.

ξ Test site operations will continue until at least February 13, 2017, the FAA said.

REASON IT!

ξ no fear to kill anybody, areas such as Pohakuloa Training Area is on a vulcanic mountain!
ξ islands may better serve as mission theaters instead of development sites - rock fever being one of the challenge!

~ University of Hawaii at Hilo

UH-Hilo received UAV-use permission

ξ Certificate of Authorization (COA) for the use of UAV to assess wiliwili trees on the Big Island
ξ to assist the state Department of Land and Natural Resources in collecting and analyzing data on the struggling species
ξ a step forward for the university looking to expand UAV-related research for the purpose of data analysis
