I clicked on the link and didn't get anything.

I am by no means the expert, but from a controlled airspace I perspective, I believe FAA considers airships just another aircraft. There are unique categorical provisions for airships in FAA policy/procedure when it makes sense to distinguish (power off emergency operation for instance). Unless I'm missing something, I see no reason not to include/associate airships with this new policy. Due to the relatively benign failure of airships, we may see airships among the first unmanned aircraft certified to fly over populated areas!

monatar,

Wouldn't the Strat be considered to be under the unmanned aircraft umbrella as fas as the FAA is conserned?
