Please remember that unmanned aircraft (UA or drones) that are being operated at Penn State or on Penn State affiliated property for Penn State activities must go through the proper approval process. This includes, but is not limited to UAs that are being operated:
- indoors
- outdoors
- educational use
- research use
- hobby use
Regardless of the size of the UA, a request to fly still needs to be submitted (https://www.research.psu.edu/node/2790).
If you know of someone or a class or group that is operating a UA in your area, please check in with them and ask if they are aware of the approval process so we can continue to get the word out. You can also check in with uas-orp@psu.edu to see if there is an approval on file.
Thank you and Happy New Year!
