Current Insights on RPAS and UAS Operations: Challenges and Future Directions
This report, coordinated by David Guerin, provides an overview of the current status and advancements in Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). It highlights the integration of drones in airspace, discusses safety, regulatory concerns, and operational management challenges. Key topics include licensing, training, detect-and-avoid frameworks, and the potential for new airspace classifications for unmanned flights. The document encourages collaboration and active involvement in shaping the future of air traffic management with drones.

Globally: ICAO, JARUS, CANSO, IATA, IFALPA: yes. GUTMA, UVS international: TBA?? Regionally (example Europe): EASA, E.C., Eurocontrol, SESAR. M.A. level: CAA, ANSP, drone assn., Dept. of Transport Where are our resources best utilised? B.6.1.1/C.4.3: RPAS/Unmanned Aircraft Team
RPAS Drones UTM Do IFATCA / ATC want to be involved in high FL operations? What about in UTM, low level ops? Should a variation to IFR or VFR flight category be considered, such as UFR (Unmanned Flight Rules)? A new ICAO airspace classification (i.e. Class U!)? How to assess/approve requests for RPAS/UA ops in CTA? How should IFATCA provide education: SORA, RPAS, UTM? Para. 2.6.: Challenge statements B.6.1.1/C.4.3: RPAS/Unmanned Aircraft Team
