New Coverage of Last Week’s 2nd Annual Spray Drone End User Conference

As reported last week, NAAA participated in 2nd Annual Spray Drone End User Conference in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The conference was well attended by both national and international uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) manufacturers, UAS 14 CFR Part 137 certificate holders, and pesticide manufacturers—250 were in attendance with another 100 attending virtually. The local Fox News station covered the event, which you can view here. NAAA Allied member Bill Reynolds of Leading Edge Aerial Technologies was interviewed for the newscast. 

NAAA CEO Andrew Moore attended the conference on behalf of the association and addressed the attendees about the NAAA’s long-time efforts working to ensure pesticides are labeled for aerial use, which EPA allows to be used for both crewed aircraft and UAS, without unnecessarily burdensome restrictions; safety policy NAAA advocates to avoid collisions between crewed aircraft and UAS; and business networking, educational stewardship programs, and positive public relations that NAAA provides to help ensure the economic health, professionalism and reputation of the industry.
