The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has set up specific rules to which all package-delivering drones must follow. This is so make delivering packages by air as safe as possible. However, companies such as Amazon, Alphabet Inc., and United States Parcel Service Inc. are advocators in the idea that we need drones now! They have been pushing for faster check ups by the FAA, stating that we need to speed up the regulatory process. With the pushing of faster check ups, the FAA stays firm with their decision to take their time.
It is important that the FAA clears up any issues with the drone manufacturers so that the sky is a safe place for drones to fly. We do not want damage to the drones or packages. Most of all, we do not want accidents which could put people down below in harms way of falling debris.

It is great that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is taking their time to make sure that the sky is safe for drones. There are many issues that can affect the drones like weather. Plus, people don't want their package to be ruined. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteAlthough it will keep customers anxious and impatient for their packages, I think it is a good idea that FAA are taking these precautions. This prevents accidents from occurring and saves money from having to fix the drones.
