A&M System notice regarding UAS guidelines for Texas A&M University NEWS RELEASE May 23, 2014

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Texas A&M University System, in conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration, provides notice of the legal guidelines relevant to the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in or around the campus of Texas A&M. The FAA regulates the safe operation of all UAS aircraft flights. Any operators who operate carelessly or recklessly can be subject to civil penalties, including fines up to $10,000. This is a particular concern in a restricted construction site, such as Kyle Field, located near an airport. The A&M System appreciates the benefits of the UAS technology; however, the safety of the public and workers within the Kyle Field Redevelopment zone are its primary concern. Texas A&M and the FAA strongly discourage UAS flights in this restricted construction area. Detailed information on the use of UAS is available on the FAA website at: https://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsId=14153 and https://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=76381 .
