.
Conform rather than create. Interpret the existing Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (formerly known as Federal Aviation Regulations, or FARs) to also cover unmanned aviation and avoid the creation of dedicated UA regulations as much as possible. The goal is to achieve transparent flight operations in the NAS.

. Establish the precedent. Although focused on domestic use, any regulations enacted will likely lead, or certainly have to conform to, similar regulations governing UA flight in ICAO and foreign (specific countries’) airspace.

Before the vision of “file and fly” can occur, significant work must be accomplished in the mutually dependent areas of UA reliability, regulation, and an S&A capability.
RELIABILITY
UA reliability is the first hurdle in airspace considerations because it underlies UA acceptance into civil airspace—whether domestic, international, or foreign. Historically, UA have suffered mishaps at one to two orders of magnitude greater than the rate (per 100,000 hours) incurred by manned military aircraft. In recent years, however, flight experience and improved technologies have enabled UA to continue to track the reliability of early manned military aircraft with UA reliability approaching an equivalent level of reliability to their manned military counterparts (see Figure F-2). For more information on UA reliability, reference Appendix H of this UA Roadmap, or see the 2003 OSD UAV Reliability Study.
