Actually, UAS is also wrong, in my opinion. RPA is better (Remotely Piloted Aircraft). It's the 'unmanned' bit I object to. There's a general trend away from UAS to RPA and RPAS. ICAO need to catch up.
The 'General Public' have a perception of what a 'drone' looks like and behaves like, although it seems impossible technically to distinguish between a DJI Mavic 2 and my 5th scale, home built Radio Controlled Tiger Moth. The rules for both have become entwined, to the great detriment of the second largest users of airspace in the UK, namely aeromodellers. The largest group? Of course, passengers in public transport aircraft.
