FAA Remote Pilot Forecast Growth

The Future in the UAS Industry

FAA 2024-2044 UAS AAM Forecast

The "Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Forecast" is a publication by the FAA that addresses the growing importance of drones in aviation. It was created to help the FAA plan for the integration of unmanned aircraft into the national airspace, reflecting the rapid advancements in drone technology and their diverse applications. The forecast provides insights into anticipated increases in drone usage across various sectors, outlines evolving regulations, highlights technological innovations, and examines the potential economic impact of drones on different industries and society at large.

The report projects growth in remote pilot jobs as the use of drones expands across multiple industries. As businesses increasingly adopt UAS for tasks like aerial photography, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and delivery services, the demand for skilled remote pilots is expected to rise. The report highlights that this job growth will be driven by advancements in technology, regulatory developments, and the growing acceptance of drones in various sectors.

See What What Our Certified Pilots Are Saying

"...I believe their (USI) training changed how I view UAS operations. USI’s emphasis on safety is what separates them from all other UAS providers and courses. The courses I participated in highlighted the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), the importance of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and checklists, and the correct methods of conducting site survey considerations prior to takeoff. Upon my first week with Trihydro, I revised all of the SOPs and checklists to emphasis the importance of safety. Without USI’s safety training I would not have had the knowledge or background to provide changes to these documents..."

"I knew when I started my training, that I wanted something that was not just a preparatory course for the Part 107 exam. While those are still okay, they’re not going to teach you what you need to know for day to day business in your career as a drone operator and pilot. What I learned from USI, I use every single day."
