FAA Announces New Drone Testing Sites in Oklahoma & Indiana
•
The Federal Aviation Administration has selected two new testing sites for drones and unmanned aircraft systems, marking the first such sites in nearly a decade. The Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation will host these sites, aiming to test the safety, operations, and navigation of drones before they integrate into national airspace. This comes as the FAA pushes for rules allowing drones to fly beyond visual line of sight. The Choctaw Nations executive director, James Grimsley, hailed the move as a significant step for the tribe and Oklahomas aviation future. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy emphasized the importance of these sites in collecting key data to safely boost innovation in the skies, positioning the U.S. as a leader in this tech race.
