Last month when the dean of the Ole Miss law school was one of our guests, we mentioned their Air and Space Law division. We’ve got one of the directors of that program, Charles Stotler, as our guest today. We’ll learn about drones and electric aircraft among other topics.

Thank you to law students Lonnie Cain and Caleb Baily for participating with our show.

For our farmers who are listening: Those interested in learning about the use of unmanned aircraft systems as row crop application sprayers are invited to a seminar at Mississippi State University.

The MSU Spray Drone/UAS Seminar will be held at the Bost Extension Center Oct. 9 from 9 to 11 a.m. This meeting will be presented in person and available online. Topics include regulatory updates, the current Federal Aviation Administration-approved spray drone list, current and potential spray drone restrictions and ongoing spray drone research at MSU.

In 2023 the governor signed Senate Bill 2853 with the description: Small unmanned aircraft systems; require state purchase and servicing of from American companies only.  Make sure you know our Federal and Mississippi air and space laws.

Earlier this month MPB News reported: Electric plane startup partners with UMMC, MSU and Jackson airport

A network of electric aircraft charging stations is being built by BETA across the eastern United States so the needed infrastructure is there when electric planes are actually being flown. One of the chargers was unveiled at the Jackson airport on Tuesday, September 3rd, the fourth in the state.
