Abstract
The 2019 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aerospace
Forecast expects the number of small unmanned aircraft systems
(sUAS) or drones registered for commercial use and the number of
remote pilots certified to fly them to triple in the next five years.
At the current rate of growth, the FAA expects the sUAS-certified
remote pilots to outnumber pilots of manned aircraft by 2023, if
not sooner. Currently, there are more than 428,000 commercial
drones registered and over 162,000 remote pilots certified to fly
for commercial purposes.
