Unmanned Aerospace Systems, UAVs, drones… no matter what term you use to describe unmanned air vehicles, it’s important that you understand the laws and regulations that govern the use of these items.

Prior to operating a UAS on WSU’s campus, a Flight Plan request form must be completed and approved by the University Police Department.

WSU has a policy regarding the use of a UAS on campus – please visit the WSU Policies & Procedures manual for more information. WSU Policy 11.03 Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Here is a diagram that provides an overview of U.S. export laws that govern the use of a UAS.
