This study is an analysis of differences between unmanned and manned aviation industry safety. A survey tool was used to collect safety perception, risk perception, and organizational safety culture data from various individuals throughout the aviation industry. In general, no difference existed between the unmanned and manned groups, indicating an overall safe operating environment for aviators. While the results of this limited study show no overall difference between groups, it provides a baseline study for which future data, collected from a more mature industry, can be obtained.
