SR2: Consider data collection and uses to improve safety results
We analyse data from the National Drone Detection System to assess RPAS user behaviour for compliance and aviation safety. We use this data for enforcement related matters and informing mitigation strategies like targeted safety campaigns.
Principle: Safety first.
Safety sector risk profile -
In October 2024 we held a safety sector risk profile (SSRP) workshop, with a focus on Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS).
We published the RPAS SSRP on 12 December 2024. It focuses on:
- approved CASR Part 101 – Rules for all uncrewed aeronautical activities
- commercial operations up to and including BVLOS.
SR4: Work with DITRDCA to provide transparent reporting on RPAS enforcement actions to promote corrective actions and lessons learned
We will continue to work with DITRDCA on RPAS-related activities and initiatives to support whole of government efforts.
Principle: Balanced and socially responsible.
SR5: Coordinate the approach to enforcement between relevant authorities
Maintain relationships with enforcement agencies to coordinate appropriate enforcement actions on emerging technologies when needed.
Principle: Balanced and socially responsible.
SR6: Work collaboratively across government to understand and establish spectrum requirements for RPAS and AAM
Work with ACMA, DITRDCA and Airservices Australia to understand and establish spectrum requirements for RPAS and AAM.
Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.
AA2c: Publish acceptable means of compliance for certification of piloted AAM
Identify published standards from standards organisations that applicants may use to show compliance with applicable airworthiness requirements. This will need us to work with international regulatory authorities to harmonise as piloted AAM needs mature.
Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.
AA3: Progress the development of a fit for purpose continuing airworthiness policy for AAM
Progress the development of a fit-for-purpose continuing airworthiness policy and regulatory pathways. Adopt a proportional approach to AAM maintenance, maintenance personnel licensing, and continuing airworthiness management policies.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
AA6: Publish guidance on the evidence required for RPAS airworthiness and operational safety goals
Work with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and operators to develop procedures and guidance for medium risk RPAS airworthiness. Improve existing regulatory pathways to allow a risk-based approach to RPAS operations.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
Priority task -
We have identified this as a priority task, and we have started working on it. We plan to deliver guidance progressively between now and Q2 2026.
AA7a: Develop a policy position for the airworthiness certification of remotely piloted AAM
Work with international regulatory authorities to develop a harmonised policy for the remote piloted operation of AAM aircraft.
Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.
