I've been asked many times to "Give me an example!" of how I can use my UA in my community, and I've had speak in generalities simply because of the agency involved or the sensitivity of the cases we work on. Yesterday we participated in an exercise that I can give complete and full disclosure on, because it was just an "exercise". It was great fun and everyone learned a great deal from the effort. It was in full compliance of the FAA's "for pay? - no play!" rule, further to that, we were under NIMS protocols and actually used the suggested hierarchy the FAA has suggested would be acceptable! We were no where near any airport and were in Class G airspace to boot.
There's not nearly enough detail in there as it is intended as a "management summary" kind of thing, but you guys that are out there in the biz can read between the lines. This is a way you can become involved in a POSITIVE way with your UA and if you can comply with some standards be a highly POSITIVE contributor to your local agencies.
If you have any interest in promoting UA use in the NAS, then I highly recommend you download this PDF and show it agencies that could benefit from these services. It CAN be done, and it CAN BE DONE SAFELY!
