Adding these systems to your drones would support OSC approval for higher safety risk operations, in particular to mitigate ground risk and/or risk of fly-away. Let’s explore those options with AVSS, market leader in North America, and contributor to ASTM standards.

This should be an interesting topic. When is this risk reduction and when might this increase the ground risk. How might we assess when and when not to rely on an FTS.

How will the Transwing UAS shape Japan’s evolving drone market? PteroDynamics Inc. has signed an agreement with Cornes Technologies Limited to distribute its Transwing unmanned aerial system (UAS) across Japan.

VLOS: How Drone Pilots Determine Maximum Flight Distances One of the most blurred rules in drone operations is the legal requisite to operate an unmanned aircraft (‘UA’) while maintaining constant visual line of sight (‘VLOS’) of the aircraft while in flight. Whether or not the FAA went about creating a confusing drone mandate is perhaps an argument for another day. For now, we set our sights upon a most troublesome common sense UAS safety concern by taking an in-focused look at how an unmanned aircraft pilot goes about determining their maximum visual line of sight distance for a given in-flight aerial drone mission and some of the factors that affect a UA pilot’s ability to maintain constant visual observation during in-flight operations.

China has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in aviation with the successful maiden flight of its latest unmanned transport aircraft. This advanced twin-engine drone, developed by Sichuan Tengden Sci-tech Innovation Co., Ltd., marks a significant leap forward in the nation's air cargo transport capabilities. The aircraft, boasting a wingspan of 16.1 meters and a payload capacity of up to 2 tonnes, is designed to meet the growing demands of the low-altitude economy and smart logistics. Its successful 20-minute test flight at Zigong Fengming General Airport in Sichuan Province showcases China's commitment to innovation and its leadership in intelligent aerial vehicle technology. This development is expected to revolutionize air cargo logistics, enhancing efficiency, safety, and reliability in the industry. The new unmanned transport aircraft is poised to become a vital component in China's expanding air cargo infrastructure, paving the way for future advancements in the sector.

A massive step forward for the UAS industry and Future of Flight, as JARUS official publish SORA v2.5, the world-standard for risk assessment of drone operations. Download the full documentation on the JARUS website here: https://lnkd.in/g5ukDbEv JARUS SORA v2.5 will form the basis of UK SORA, and is one of the Civil Aviation Authority's four pillars for achieving scalable Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) drone operations: - Remote Pilot Competency - an expanded scheme to ensure pilots are trained and qualified to the required level for complex Ops, delivered through a network of RAEs . - UAS Flightworthiness - replicating the Recognised Assessment Entity (RAE) model used for pilot competency, working with third-party organisations to ensure that UAS are designed and built to the required standards. - Risk Assessment (SORA) - a standardised, consistent approach to risk assessment based on the global best-practice set by JARUS. - Airspace Integration - enabling integration of UAS into shared airspace, through initiatives such as Electronic Conspicuity and Detect & Avoid capabilities. Congratulations to everyone involved in the development of JARUS SORA, and we look forward to the journey ahead that this achievement will enable! #drones #uas #jarus #sora #futureofflight #bvlos

✈️🌍 For over a decade, UAV DACH - Association for Unmanned Aviation has been at the forefront of advocating for safe drone operations worldwide. Through active participation in international working groups, the organization has consistently provided invaluable facts and data to regulators, facilitating the development of appropriate rules to ensure the safe integration of drones into airspace. One of UAV DACH's key contributions lies in its direct involvement with the Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned Systems (JARUS). By actively engaging with JARUS, UAV DACH helps shape regulations and standards that govern unmanned aerial systems, ensuring they align with industry needs while prioritizing safety. Moreover, UAV DACH consistently offers insightful comments on emerging standards and supports the comprehensive approach laid out by the EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The threefold approach (open, specific, certified), focusing on risk assessment, adapting experience, and reliability, forms the backbone of UAV DACH's advocacy efforts, aiming to support a robust framework for safe drone operations across Europe. While the implementation of the Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) may initially pose a higher hurdle for operators, requiring a meticulous risk-based assessment of their operations, the benefits of such a system cannot be overstated. The SORA process, though rigorous, ultimately paves the way for safer and more versatile drone applications, offering operators a wider range of options while ensuring enhanced safety standards. The Federal Aviation Administration and non EU industry’s acknowledgment of the approach highlights how industry stakeholders outside Europe recognize the significance of our contributions to advancing drone safety standards. In conclusion, the commendation received from the FAA serves as a testament to UAV DACH's unwavering commitment to promoting safe and responsible drone operations. As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to collaborating with regulators, especially EASA, industry partners, and stakeholders worldwide to further enhance the safety and efficiency of unmanned aerial systems. With continued collective efforts, such as the EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM, we can build a future where drones seamlessly integrate into airspace, unlocking endless possibilities while prioritizing safety above all else. Well done! 👏👍 Maria Algar Ruiz Julie Garland Joerg Dittrich

Unmanned Aerial Systems Description An Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) has three components: An autonomous or human-operated control system which is usually on the ground or a ship but may be on another airborne platform; An Unmanned Aircraft (UA); A command and control (C2) system - sometimes referred to as a communication, command and control (C3) system - to link the two. These systems include, but are not limited to, Remotely Piloted Air Systems (RPAS) in which the UA is controlled by a 'pilot' using a radio data link from a remote location. UAS can also include an autonomously controlled UA or, more likely, a semi autonomous UA. In recent years, the tendency to refer to any UA as a Drone has developed but the term is not universally considered appropriate. UAs can vary in size from those which can be hand launched to purpose built or adapted vehicles the size of conventional fixed or rotary wing aircraft.
