PAS Reports
Since 1949, APA's PAS Report series has offered planners comprehensive guidance on important planning issues and innovative practices.
Using Drones in Planning Practice
PAS Report 597
Drones are a highly useful tool that can help planners do their work more safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. The latest PAS Report helps planners determine whether uncrewed aircraft systems can enhance their planning practice and prepares them for implementation.

Historic Reports
PAS published its first Information Report in 1949. To celebrate this history, we have made available a wealth of past issues from the archives. We hope you enjoy these fascinating snapshots of planning issues of yesteryear.
