Thank you in advance for your time in considering this request.
The FAA is moving very quickly to prohibit the commercial use of Small Unmanned Aerial Systems, sUAS or “drones”, until a complete regulations document can be drafted.
Commercial sUAS operators have already been providing safe and affordable aerial services to a wide range of industries by following common-sense guidelines, many of which strongly resemble the current commercial sUAS guidelines in use in the UK.
This is not a fight with the FAA but a respectful assertion that the UK commercial sUAS regulations are a worthwhile way to move forward with sUAS integration while preserving the positive economic contribution that they are already making in the United States.
We therefore ask that you consider signing the petition at
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/compel-faa-adopt-uks-commercial-suas-standards-immediately/2vbvcC0C
so that the commercial use of sUAS may continue for the benefit of those that operate and employ them in the course of their normal business operations.
Please also consider forwarding this email and/or posting its contents where other interested people might see it.
Thank you.

APM and Pixhawk are extremely capable flight controllers that are well suited to safe commercial aerial applications. Both are superior to most of the products currently marketed to hobbyists. I hope that 3d Robotics is supportive of the petition for commercial use of our aircraft and systems in the low level National Airspace System.
