The FAA has approved the 737 Max for flight again. The decision comes 20 months after the aircraft was grounded following two crashes that killed 346 people.

The FAA is exploring the idea of tracking all airborne drones around the clock, as well as connected pilot IDs. The agency says the proposed tracking network would be “an important building block in the unmanned traffic management ecosystem.” A 60-day consultation period is about to open inviting anyone to comment.

Registered drone owners will need to place their machine's ID number on the outside of their aircraft from February 23 in accordance with a new rule from the Federal Aviation Administration. Terror-related concerns mean the ID can no longer be placed inside the drone's battery compartment.

Millions of drones will be excitedly unwrapped this holiday season, but did you know you need to register it before you fire it up?

In the 30 days since the Federal Aviation Administration began requiring drone certification, the agency says nearly 300,000 people have registered.

An FAA advisory panel has reportedly recommended that the agency lift a ban on using gadgets, like smartphones and tablets, during takeoff and landing.

Sources say that the Federal Aviation Administration may becoming more lax on its rule of turning off all electronic devices during take-off and landing.
