IN8: Mature rules and approval processes to support RPAS and AAM related infrastructure
Continue to monitor, review, and update rules for RPAS and AAM infrastructure as operations evolve and complexity increases.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
Continue to monitor, review, and update rules for RPAS and AAM infrastructure as operations evolve and complexity increases.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
Work to align and improve the efficiency of RPAS licensing requirements to harmonise with international (including ICAO) standards.
Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.
Identify the gap between remote pilot training and competencies and what is required to safely coordinate with crewed aviation.
Principle: Safety first.
Build on the BVLOS OCTA exam developed in 2023 to meet remote pilot training needs. Use operational maturity to inform the timing.
Principle: Safety first.
This activity and activation of work within ICAO will contribute to the development of medical standards for RPAS and AAM operators.
Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.
Review and update rules as needed so they are fit for purpose as operational needs evolve. Clarifying requirements to enhance and mature the rules.
Principle: Adaptive and scalable.
Advance the current RePL training standards to support the safe operation of increasingly complex RPAS.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
Implement standardised training and licensing for personnel in remotely piloted and optionally piloted AAM aircraft. Ensure personnel have the skills and knowledge for safe and efficient operations.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
Implement licensing requirements for personnel and systems involved in increasingly automated operations. Ensure personnel have the skills and knowledge for safe and efficient operations.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
Implement licensing requirements for personnel who dispatch AAM aircraft to ensure they have the necessary skills and knowledge for safe and efficient operations.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
