Airservices Australia has enlisted Frequentis Australasia to develop a cutting-edge flight information management system (#FIMS) aimed at seamlessly integrating #drones and other uncrewed #aircraft into Australian #airspace. This upgrade anticipates a significant surge in drone operators over the next two decades, with drone flights expected to skyrocket from 1.5 million to over 60 million by 2043. The FIMS will serve as the cornerstone of Australia’s uncrewed #aircraft systems traffic management (UTM) ecosystem, facilitating the sharing of flight information between conventional and uncrewed aircraft, as well as with air traffic control.

EASA published the updated EASY ACCESS RULES for drones The easy access rules for UAS includes the regulation (EU) 2019/947 and 2019/945 and the related acceptable means of compliance and guidance material. https://lnkd.in/eTY6vkmF The easy access rules for UAS has been updated to include Decision 2023/012/R amending the acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance material (GM) to Regulation (EU) 2019/947 by: - clarifying the method for assessing the design of unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) operated in the ‘specific’ category; - expanding the applicability of PDRA S-01 to agricultural operations; - addressing the authorisation process for free flight balloons. #uas, #drones, #easa

What are the implications of a potential U.S. ban on DJI drones... The impending ban on DJI drones by the U.S. government raises some significant and pivotal questions for the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) service industry. 1️⃣ How will this shift affect industry operations, security measures, and the broader landscape of drone technology? 2️⃣ How should UAS service providers pivot to adapt to these changes? 3️⃣ What strategies can be implemented for the effective removal and replacement of DJI drones from critical operations? 4️⃣ How will this ban influence the future of airspace security protocols and drone innovation? 5️⃣ Will other countries follow suit, in doing so will we improve adversarial capabilities? 🛡 are here to have these important conversations and to all our USA colleagues let’s hear your thoughts...

🎥 In this newly released, in-depth video, ParaZero explores their journey through rigorous testing to obtain ASTM F3322-22 certification for their SafeAir Mavic 3 drone recovery system >> https://hubs.ly/Q02GL9pC0 🪂 The ASTM F3322-22 certification is significant for several reasons: - The sUAS meets regulatory requirements. - The quality and reliability of the ParaZero Drone Safety Systems is validated. - For certain drones like the DJI Mavic 3, the certification may enable waivers for flying over people under new FAA regulations. ✈ Visit the Unmanned Systems Technology website for further information. #unmanned #parachute #safety #technology #uav

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.

We’re proud to introduce the High Lander Aviation Dictionary. 📖 This is a new feature where we’ll define aviation terms and look at them in a bit more detail.  We’re beginning with the basics: UAS, which stands for unmanned aircraft system. This term refers to all components of a drone system, which means the aircraft itself, its communications array and its operating system. People often use the terms UAS, UAV and drone interchangeably, but there is a difference. UAV, or unmanned aerial vehicle, refers only to the aircraft component of the system. Drone is probably the most commonly-used word, but it actually means any remotely piloted vehicle, including on land and at sea. Finally, there’s another term to be aware of - RPAS, or remotely piloted aircraft system. This is the term favored by ICAO and EASA, however, it should be noted that RPAS does not include automated systems. #highlander #aviation #drones #dictionary #education #uas #uav #rpas

On July 30, 2024, the FAA made a significant move by authorizing Zipline and Wing to conduct BVLOS commercial drone flights in shared airspace using UTM technology. This decision marks a crucial advancement in ensuring safe, efficient, and scalable unmanned aircraft operations. For more insights into this development and the challenges that lie ahead, check out the FAA's July 2023 Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management Implementation Plan. #drones #FAA #UTM #aviationinnovation

Unless the FAA has granted a waiver, your drone must stay at or below 400 ft AGL. Pilots must check the airspace prior to launching to ensure they know the altitude limits. Some classes of airspace will only let you fly between 100-200 ft (usually airspace with heavy manned air traffic). Air traffic safety is crucial and everyone operating in the airspace is responsible for their own actions. Flying a drone above the legal limit will present hazards to manned aircraft who cannot see drones before hitting them. There are several apps available to recreational and commercial pilots to check the airspace they’re currently in (Air Control, Open Sky, Air Data etc). If you’re already a commercial drone pilot, then you know better.
