We’re seeking your feedback on draft advisory circular (AC) 21-57 v1.0. It sets out guidance on airworthiness cybersecurity for remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS).
Date
What’s in the AC
The guidance looks at aircraft level airworthiness cybersecurity, including:
- Airborne subsystems in RPA
- Ground subsystems that support flight, such as remote pilot station (RPS) or ground control stations (GCS)
- Command and control (C2) links between the RPS/GCS and the RPA
- Supporting infrastructure needed to control the RPA in flight.
It focuses on areas of safety such as flight controllers, sensors and actuators, surveillance and navigation equipment, C2 links and mission systems.
Why your views matter
Your feedback will help us confirm the guidance is clear and fit for purpose. It will also help us focus on areas that matter the most for safe operations.
How to provide feedback
You can provide your feedback through the Consultation Hub by Friday 5 December.
