Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463), the FAA is giving 
notice of amendments to the charter for the Drone Advisory Committee 
(DAC), which is renamed the Advanced Aviation Advisory Committee

National Airspace System (NAS)--while equipping and enabling 
communities to inform how UAS, AAM and other technologies may operate 
in ways that are beneficial to those communities. Members represent 
airports and airport communities; pilot and controller labor groups; 
local, state, and tribal governments; navigation, communication, 
surveillance, and air traffic management capability providers; 
research, development, and academia; agricultural interests, 
traditional piloted aviation operators; UAS hardware component 
manufacturers; UAS manufacturers; corporate UAS operators; citizen UAS 
Operators; UAS software application manufacturers; advanced air 
mobility; community advocates; and industry associations or other 
specific areas of interest as determined by the FAA Administrator or 
Secretary of Transportation. For more information see the AAAC website
