Context in a snapshot

• EU competent when MTOM > 150 kg with some exclusions

• Interim certification policy published by EASA in 2009

Current Regulations

• Worldwide, Innovative and diverse

• Newcomers outside aviation (SME)

• Aerial work first; transport likely to come

• International cooperation is a must

Industrial landscape

• Strong EU political support creation of new jobs

• Public: favourable but may change

Societal landscape

Recent decisions in Europe: Riga conference

6/8/2015

•Drones must be treated as a new type of aircraft with proportionate rules based on risk of operation • EU rules needed now • Technologies and Standards to be developed for full integration • Public acceptance is key to the growth of drone services •The operator of a drone is responsible for its use

The EASA Concept of Operations – meeting the challenge

Regulatory concept: proportionate, progressive, risk based, high level rules complemented by Industry Standards

Operations centric

EU rules to cover all drones; implementation depends of the level of risk

Commercial and non-commercial treated in the same manner

3 categories based on risk: OPEN, SPECIFIC and CERTIFIED with increasing requirements

Foundation of the future work

6/8/2015 5

EASA/SM2.1./SSCC 1-2015/07


02 06 2015


Concept of Operations – categories

OPEN:

Low risk

Without involvement of Aviation Authority

Limitations ( Visual line of sight, Maximum Altitude, distance from airport and sensitive zones)

Flight over Populated area is possible if:

No overflying of crowds

Industry standards (Case of toy of less than 500g)

SPECIFIC

Increased risk

Safety risk assessment

Approved by NAA possibly supported by Qualified Entities unless approved operator with privilege

Operation Authorisation with operations manual

Concept of accredited body

Airworthiness of drone and competence of staff based on risk assessment

CERTIFIED

Comparable to manned aviation

Limit between specific and certified is not yet defined

Pending criteria is defined, EASA accept application in its present remit

TC, C of A, Noise certificate, Approved Organisations, licences (Case of small drones)

Command and Control and Detect &Avoid can receive an independent approval

FAA, EASA, and EUROCONTROL agreed to provide additional resources to support JARUS

JARUS modifies its structure to respond to its expanded responsibilities and membership:

Stakeholder group

JARUS is modifying its Terms of Reference to document its new structure and procedures

Adopted EASA concept of operations

Working group on the concept of operations is now at the center of the activities

RECENT CHANGES IN JARUS

6/8/2015 9

EASA/SM2.1./SSCC 1-2015/07


02 06 2015


Increased JARUS participation already anticipated from both NAAs and industry

Increased coordination facilitated by new organization (e.g. Secretariat, regional offices)

Valuable contributions to ICAO efforts from members/advisors involved in JARUS & ICAO

Continuing need for increased membership and resource commitments from ALL

JARUS: THE WAY FORWARD
