The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has promulgated laws to control the business operation of small uncrewed plane methods (sUAS). Compliance with these laws is important for sustaining security within the Nationwide Airspace System. And if sUAS operators fail to adjust to relevant federal aviation laws, the FAA has been granted the authority to implement these laws. This research explores how the FAA has been exercising its enforcement energy within the context of sUAS operator regulatory noncompliance. Utilizing knowledge obtained from a Freedom of Data Act request, this research examines 62 FAA enforcement actions levied in opposition to sUAS operators from 2012 till 2020. Key findings embrace traits in enforcement exercise following the promulgation of Half 107 laws; timelines related to civil penalty and certificates motion circumstances; and the particular laws most steadily prosecuted by the FAA in sUAS enforcement circumstances.
