127 Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Guide: Exploring Designs, Operations, Regulations, and Economics Abstract The utility and benefits of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) are being increasingly recognized across the aviation industry. While this technology is not new, its ability to support domestic public and private operators is becoming better understood, opening up new uses to government organizations and commercial enterprise. Small UAS are expected to become the most prevalent and affordable form of unmanned aircraft available, with applications for both business and recreation ranging from hobby model aircraft communities to defense contracting. Beginning with the history and evolution of UAS, this book covers typical sUAS designs (including types of multirotor, fixed-wing, and hybrid), major elements and equipment, related technology, common uses, and safety practices, while also providing guidance and resources to help you make well- informed decisions regarding purchase and use and determine a path forward through the complex legal, business, operational, and support considerations. Whether using sUAS to address a business need or for recreation, this text provides you with the knowledge to acquire necessary certification approvals, evaluate and purchase an sUAS, and operate in a safe, efficient, and effective manner. Written for experienced aviators as well as those new to aviation and operating in the National Airspace System, the easy-to-read format features 230 illustrations, a list of abbreviations, and index. The authorsâ experience and insight into the technical, operational, and regulatory considerations will assist you in shaping your own strategy for use of this (r)evolutionary technology.

129 Perspectives on Unmanned Aircraft Classification for Civil Airworthiness Standards Abstract The use of unmanned aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS) has been characterized as the next great step forward in the evolution of civil aviation. Although use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in military and public service operations is proliferating, civil use of UAS remains limited in the United States today. This report focuses on one particular regulatory challenge: classifying UAS to assign airworthiness standards. This paper provides observations related to how the current regulations for classifying manned aircraft could apply to UAS. The current aircraft classification approach proceeds along two dimensions: aircraft classes and operational categories. Classification is used in two ways. First, aircraft that have meaningful differences are certified differently. Second, classification is used to group aircraft with similar risk profiles. This report finds that existing aircraft classes are well aligned with UAS classes; however, the operational categories are more difficult to align to typical UAS usage. Specifically, the factors used to group manned aircraft into similar risk profiles do not necessarily capture UAS risks. UAS risk is investigated through gathering UAS airworthiness classification approaches from a broad spectrum of organizations, and then identifying the sets of classification factors from these approaches. Presumably, each organization develops a classification approach to address the risks that they deem most relevant to safety. One observation is that aircraft weight is commonly used in classification. Another observation is that classification approaches rarely exclusively use weight. Importantly, most classification systems also include some operational aspects in their classification system, such as the intended operational area. Authors Maddalon, J. M., Hayhurst, K.

141 Issues Concerning Integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Civil Airspace Abstract Interest in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is growing worldwide and several efforts are underway to integrate UAV operations routinely and safely into civil airspace. Currently, UAV operations are confined to special-use airspace or are limited in their access, for safety reasons, by a restrictive authorization process. This document provides a context of UAV developments, describes current initiatives, and frames and assesses the issues associated with the integration of UAVs in civil airspace. Reviewed are issues related to potential safety, security, air traffic, regulatory, and socio-economic impediments. The paper concludes with recommended actions for moving forward. The intent in describing the issues and proposing recommendations is not to suggest a conclusive set of issues nor to provide a prescriptive direction, but rather to stimulate discussion, build consensus, and promote strategic planning among the organizations having a stake in the emergence of UAVs into civil airspace.

147 Voluntary Best PracticesâNTIA Abstract The purpose of this document is to outline and describe voluntary Best Practices that UAS operators could take to advance UAS privacy, transparency and accountability for the private and commercial use of UAS. UAS operators may implement these Best Practices in a variety of ways, depending on their circumstances and technology uses, and evolving privacy expectations. In some cases, these Best Practices are meant to go beyond existing law and they do notâand are not meant toâcreate a legal standard of care by which the activities of any particular UAS operator should be judged. These Best Practices are also not intended to serve as a template for future statutory or regulatory obligations, in part because doing so would make these standards mandatory (not voluntary) and could therefore raise First Amendment concerns.

Under 31C (dated 6/19/2009), airports are required to have AEP fully compliant with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) / Incident Command System (ICS). Some airports have had difficulty getting FAA approval for their 31C compliant AEPs. Standardization among AEPs is lacking because no two airports are quite alike. Yet, AEP standardization could be improved while making them NIMS/ICS-complaint in accordance with 31C. There are software packages in the emergency management field that are used to help stakeholders write NIMS/ICS-compliant emergency operations plans. Similar software is needed to assist airports with writing the Airport Emergency Plan to be compliant with 31C.

226 Part 107 Waivers Abstract On August 29, 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration implemented Part 107 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, also known as the small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) rule. It created a regulatory framework that enabled civil and commercial operations of UAS weighing 55 pounds or less. Generally, Part 107 requires operators to fly under 400 feet, within visual line of sight and only during daylight hours. UAS operators who want to fly outside the requirements of Part 107, such as to conduct beyond line of sight or nighttime operations, may request a waiver from the FAA. The FAA began issuing waivers the same day Part 107 took effect. Two years later, more than 1,800 waivers have been issued to operators nationwide. The interactive graphics below provide some information on these operators as well as the types of operations that have been authorized.

253 UTM: Air Traffic Management for Low-Altitude Drones Abstract Long before stories of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly known as âdrones,â were frequent in the news, NASA and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recognized the need for a way to safely manage UAS flying at low altitudes in airspace not currently managed by the FAA. For more than 25 years, NASA has conducted air traffic management system research in partnership with the FAA, providing a variety of computer-based tools that help improve flight efficiency, reduce delays, and reduce fuel use and emissions all while maintaining safety in increasingly crowded skies. Today, with innovators constantly identifying new, beneficial applications for UAS â goods delivery, infrastructure inspection, search and rescue, agricultural monitoring â a safety system may be needed to help ensure this newest entrant into the skies does not collide with buildings, larger aircraft, or one another. Building on its legacy of work in air traffic management for crewed aircraft, NASA is researching prototype technologies such as airspace design, dynamic geofencing, congestion management and terrain avoidance for a UAS Traffic Management (UTM) system that could enable safe, efficient low-altitude operations.

264 Multi-Sensor Fusion for UAS Ground-Based Detect and Avoid Capability Abstract In order to safely and seamlessly integrate UAS into non- segregated airspace, a robust DAA capability needs to be established. The New York Griffiss International Airport Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Test Site is evaluating next-generation UAS ground-based detect and avoid (GBDAA) systems capable of enabling extended UAS beyond line-of- sight (BLOS) operations in airport terminal areas and in transition airspace. GBDAA is an important research area in the current Phase Two of RTCA Special Committee 228 (Minimum UAS Performance Standards), which focuses on civil UAS equipped to operate under IFR flight rules in extended UAS operations in Class D, E, and G, airspace, down to but not including ground operations. The Griffiss UAS Test Site has set up an instrumented test range for air traffic surveillance, extending from the Griffiss airport and its Class D airspace to about 40 NM to the north. The Griffiss range instrumentation system employs multi-sensor fusion using a combination of wide area multilateration, ADS-B, and primary radar to track cooperative and noncooperative air traffic. The system is designed to operate in combination with other air traffic surveillance sensors, including airborne DAA sensors. Griffiss test range instrumentation provides real-time air traffic surveillance, with an ability to incorporate simulated air traffic. The system incorporates a data collection, storage, and analysis capability for building the safety for UAS integration into terminal and transition airspace, and supports live, virtual and constructive simulation in distributed environments (LVC- DE). To understand the system and its uses, it is important to keep sight of reasons for capabilities such as those under development at the Griffiss UAS Test Site. The paper concludes with a description of an example of how multi- sensor fusion in the Griffiss range instrumentation system might be employed to make a safety case of beyond line-of- sight UAS operation in Griffiss test range airspace.

270 Assessing the Risks of Integrating Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System Abstract When discussing the risk of introducing drones into the National Airspace System, it is necessary to consider the increase in risk to people in manned aircraft and on the ground as well as the various ways in which this new technology may reduce risk and save lives, sometimes in ways that cannot readily be accounted for with current safety assessment processes. This report examines the various ways that risk can be defined and applied to integrating these Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System managed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It also identifies needs for additional research and developmental opportunities in this field.
