A few years ago, the role of Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) changed due to the increasing use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Whilst manned aviation is based on the ‘see and avoid’ principle, unmanned operations cannot fulfill these requirements, especially when operating beyond visual line of sight. The European Commission, therefore, intends to adopt …

U-space enables large-scale UAS operations, including beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights. By providing several services, drone operators may fulfil the requirements for BVLOS flights within the SORA framework (please check out our previous blog: ‘How U-space will impact the SORA’). The market for service providers (USSPs) will be competitive, and having a Single …

With the entry into force of the U-space regulation last month, a big step has been taken in the rapidly developing drone industry. But is U-space the one-size-fits-all solution that this industry needs? For me, the short-term answer is “No.” There are still many challenges that need to be addressed before we can deploy drones …

© Aerospace Manufacturing As of January 26, 2023, the U-space regulatory framework will become effective in Europe. However, the designation of U-space will not immediately follow. It is important for local governments, Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), and Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operators to consider the effects of U-space airspace. This article focuses on the …
U-Space represents the next major advancement for the drone industry. It will allow drone operators to conduct a large number of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations in complex environments, such as above cities and in controlled airspace. In 2022, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) published the European regulatory framework for U-Space, …
Since the introduction of the EASA legislation and regulations, your Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has decided to audit drone operators on a regular basis. A date is agreed upon for this visit, during which CAA will come by to carry out the audit. Various topics are discussed during this audit. This includes checking documents, viewing …
Safety is one of the top priorities in aviation, including drone operations. Risk-based operational assessments (such as SORA in the drone industry) with corresponding mitigations in the Operations Manual, training, checklists, etc. contribute to the high level of safety that has been achieved in manned aviation. To start operating Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), you are …
With the EASA regulatory framework that became effective on the first of January this year, UAS operations are divided into three categories. While most drone operators are currently focussing on the Open and Specific Category, many manufacturers and even some operators have started their preparations towards operating in the Certified Category. What does the Certified …
In just a few years, urban air mobility will be a reality, letting people travel conveniently in a way more suited to cities and their residents. Integrating these big future drones safely into our urban airspace requires a lot of coordination and a great deal of testing. Within the next few months, the European project …
