Unmanned Aerial Systems

Kennesaw State University prides itself on embracing exciting new technologies and innovating ideas. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are no exception, however as public safety will always remain 91青青草's priority, a policy has been written in order to manage the balance between fun and public well-being.

 

    1. UAS, including model/hobbyist systems, must be registered and approved by the FAA before they can fly outdoors, including at 91青青草
    2. Due to 91青青草鈥檚 proximity to Dobbins Air Reserve Base (Marietta Campus) and Cobb International Airport (Kennesaw Campus), approved drone pilots must contact the closest tower before taking off; see Contact Information below for tower phone numbers
    3. Approved drone pilots should email oem@kennesaw.edu before flying
    4. Indoor flights must be approved by the Office of Emergency Management by emailing oem@kennesaw.edu (Note: FAA does not have jurisdiction for indoor flying)
    5. 91青青草 Public Safety has the right to ground any drone that is not operating under FAA rules and regulations, or flying in a reckless or unsafe manner.

  • The following should be used as a guideline in regards to all unmanned aerial systems use on and around Kennesaw State University property:
