  3. FAA Guidance & Integration • The FAA's mission and authority as it focuses on the integration of UAS is SAFETY. • Civil performance standards are often more stringent, especially in the areas of reliability. • Public expectation for a safe aviation environment drives very high standards. • FAA has a responsibility to citizens to mitigate risk. • FAA Modernization & Reform Act of 2012 challenges • Airspace / Airworthiness • Certifications • Pilot / Crew Member

  4. Airspace • Permanent Arctic Areas • FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 • Addressing Integration of Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems Into the NAS • Expanding Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Arctic • Designate permanent areas in the Arctic where sUAS may operate 24-hrs per day for research & commercial purposes • Over-water flights from the surface to at least 2000 ft AGL • Ingress / Egress Routes from selected coastal launch sites • Southern Arctic Area • Bering Strait Area • Northern Arctic Area PEAK 3

  5. Class E Airspace: ATC provides IFR separation / No VFR separation • Class G: No VFR or IFR separation • Uncontrolled Airspace extends to 23,00 MSL • VFR/IFR Flight Plans required when operating within ADIZ • ATC comms & Transponder required

  6. Airworthiness: International Airspace (ICAO) National Airspace (FAA) State Civil Public Aircraft - Due Regard Option COA Application Process Restricted Warning Prohibited Airspace Civil Special Airworthiness Certificate Process Type Certificate PEAK 3 • Order 8130.34C • - Type Certificate • Registration • Continued Airworthiness Program • MX Training Program • Risk Mitigation • VOs • Pilot /Crew Certification Experimental Special Flight Permit Restricted Category (ScanEagle & Puma) - R&D - Crew Training - Market Surveys - Production Flight Testing • Special Purpose Operations • Agricultural Spraying • Aerial Surveying • Pipeline Patrolling • Other operations under part 21 COA Process - Flight Test Area - Operating Area

  7. Pilot Certifications • FAA focused on ensuring UAS pilots have an appropriate level of understanding of 14 CFR and held to the same standards for safety as manned aircraft pilots • PIC Rating Requirements • Pilot Certificate or FAA recognized equivalent • Currency Requirements • 3 T/O & LDG in the UAS, in previous 90 days • Pilot’s certificate requirements under 14 CFR part 61 • Class II Medical under 14 CFR part 67 (or recognized equivalent) • Exceptions PEAK 3

  8. Continued Challenges • As required by legislation, only sUAS (55 lbs or less GTOW) will be approved for operations in Arctic areas • Certification • 10-years previous experience / operations • Lengthy & Expensive • Airspace Restraints • FAR Part 135 Operating Requirements: Commuter and on Demand Operations • Pilot Certification Requirements -- accountability PEAK 3

  9. Resources • Expanding Use of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Arctic Implementation Plan, FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 • FAA Order 8130.34C – Airworthiness Certification of Unmanned Aircraft Systems & Optionally Piloted Aircraft (8/02/13) • FAA Notice 8900.227 – Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Operational Approval (7/30/13) • FAR/AIM • Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14CFR), Part 21, 61, 91 • FAA Modernization & Reform Act of 2012, Title III Safety, Subtitle B UAS PEAK 3
