    Description
    Commercial UAS operators are becoming a new occupation within the aviation industry. The purpose of UAS is widespread and may decrease unnecessary risks to pilots in certain environments. The Unmanned Aircraft Systems industry is expected to generate an estimated 100,000 jobs and $82.1 billion in economic impact in the next decade according to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI). Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) predicts 10,000 unmanned aircraft systems could be airborne in the U.S. skies by 2020.
