UK ATM and UAS Operations

摘要

• As for manned aircraft, unmanned aircraft will only be permitted to operate in UK airspace if it is considered that it is safe for them to do so — ‘Safe to be Flown and Flown Safely’. We are developing appropriate regulation • In the UK today we have a growing and diverse civil UA industry with many SME's involved using small rotary and fixed wing aircraft largely > 20kg using VLOS • UK CAA has considerable influence and input to a wide range of regulatory bodies developing UA requirements • UK airspace is a challenging environment, VLOS below 400ft should not encounter many other aircraft, but D&A a must for full airspace integration, Class G a challenge. Step by step approach to the future.
