Abstract:
The FAA’s DroneZone platform (https://dronezone.faa.gov) is the public-facing online hub for UAS activities and information reporting, including accident-reporting. The FAA is updating DroneZone to add functionality and improve users’ registration experience. While the accident reporting module in DroneZone is not being changed, the main DroneZone landing page and certain aspects of the user interface for DroneZone registration are changing, with a planned launch in August 2022. The FAA is submitting this nonsubstantive change request to reflect these changes, all of which are displayed in the uploaded screenshots. The information collected by the FAA through the DroneZone website, Flight Standards District Offices, or one of the Regional Operations Centers or the Washington Operations Center for each sUAS accident is used to investigate and determine regulatory compliance. In addition, the accident information goes into the FAA aircraft accident database for safety analysis purposes by the FAA Office of Accident Investigation and Analysis, pursuant to its statutory safety mission. As is currently the case for manned aircraft accidents, sUAS accident data will be made available to the public and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Submission of accident information is mandatory if a small unmanned aircraft accident meets certain criteria. The affected population consists of small unmanned aircraft operators from all walks of life. The collection requirement consists of reporting.
