Advance the current RePL training standards to support the safe operation of increasingly complex RPAS.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
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.
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.
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.
Identify the gap between remote pilot training and competencies and what is required to safely coordinate with crewed aviation.
Principle: Safety first.
Monitor international developments towards implementing harmonised requirements for AAM. This work needs to consider how aviation professionals transition their current licensing to new vehicles and technologies.
Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.
Work to align and improve the efficiency of RPAS licensing requirements to harmonise with international (including ICAO) standards.
Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.
Decide the corresponding requirements for infrastructure equipage as airspace management and technology evolves to ensure the safe operations of RPAS and AAM.
Principle: Adaptive and scalable.
Continue to monitor, review, and update rules for RPAS and AAM infrastructure as operations evolve and complexity increases.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
Where required, regulate operator training and set competency goals for infrastructure operators to ensure they meet safety standards.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
