Feeling choked as a business?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As you know, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faa.gov\/news\/updates\/?newsId=76240\" target=\"_blank\">FAA declares<\/a> they govern *all* airspace, even the 400 feet above ground in which you fly everything from a paper airplane to a kite to a remote-controlled kit-built airplane and, yes, your multirotor drone. But FAA regulations are being challenged, as I discussed <a href=\"http:\/\/droneanalyst.com\/2014\/03\/07\/the-business-of-drones-a-tale-of-two-cities\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Given that, I\u2019d like to take the pulse of drone business owners like yourself to assess and quantify the impact of FAA regulations on commercial use of low-altitude small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). So I\u2019ve posted a survey. If you\u2019d like to speak your mind about this topic and have others listen without fear of recrimination, you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n<p>You can access the survey (which is just 15 questions) online via this link:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s\/VHKR5FJ\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s\/VHKR5FJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s this survey about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This survey explores the impact that current and future\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/droneanalyst.com\/2014\/02\/06\/the-yellow-brick-road-of-faa-regulations\/\" target=\"_blank\">FAA regulations<\/a>\u00a0have on commercial use of low-altitude small unmanned aerial systems. The study is designed to expose both business sentiment about- and the economic impact of- FAA regulations.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll keep results of the survey <strong>confidential<\/strong>\u00a0and have designed it for those businesses that sell, operate, or intend to operate, their sUAS in the U.S. for commercial purposes. At the end of survey, responses will be aggregated, analyzed, and summarized in research reports to be issued within the next several months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s in it for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you provide your contact information at the end of the survey, I\u2019ll send you a free report. A complete downloadable version will come later.<\/p>\n<p>For best results we need as many respondents as possible, so I encourage every business involved in the sUAS market \u2013 whether established company or start-up \u2013 to take the survey.<\/p>\n<p>For all surveys \u2013 including this one -there are no right or wrong answers. News agencies, companies, and research firms around the world rely on businesses and consumers like you to give them feedback on the latest trends, consumer sentiment, regulations, and products and services. If agencies created regulations and companies created products and services without consumer feedback, there would be a lot of failed products, wasted money, and failed businesses.<\/p>\n<p>That is why they engage with companies like Drone Analyst to seek input from real consumers like you. We take your one opinion and combine it with hundreds of other opinions to create aggregate data. That data goes into research reports that help them create better regulations and products. Aggregate data is valuable in providing feedback to all parties \u2013 including you and your business. Your individual answers are confidential and are not shared in reports.\u00a0<strong>Respondents who want to assure their anonymity further need not provide their contact information.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>How to take surveys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Take the time to read each question carefully and provide sincere and truthful answers&#8211; your input is key to decision-making. Remember: Your answers are private.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Any attempt to speed though the surveys, take a survey more than once or provide false or misleading information will result in bad data and unreliable conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>And, if you have questions and would like to discuss one-on-one, email me at <a href=\"mailto:colin@droneanalyst.com\">colin@droneanalyst.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Image credit: Shutterstock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Confused by the FAA&#8217;s small drone regulations?
