Review policy and publish industry guidance outlining operational pathways to support the safe operation of large RPAS.

Principle: Risk and outcome-based.

Continue to develop policies and pathways for RPAS operations that are relative to the risk and complexity of the operations. This could include further clarification and streamlining of BVLOS pathways, and consideration of high altitude and increasingly automated RPAS. It may include identifying streamlined pathways to enable lower risk RPAS operations.

Principle: Risk and outcome-based.

Develop guidance and pathways for operational approval for pilot on board AAM operations with a focus on aviation safety through efficient processes.

Principle: Risk and outcome-based.

Develop standards for international RPAS operations that align to ICAO standards and recommended practices. This will ensure harmonisation internationally for RPAS operations.

Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.

Develop safety management system (SMS) and human factors policies relative to the risks and complexity of RPAS operations.

Principle: Risk and outcome-based.

Review and, if needed, develop and streamline SMS assessment and approval processes to improve efficiency and make sure requirements are relative to risk.

Principle: Risk and outcome-based.

Review AAM processes, procedures and supporting documentation using quality assurance and continuous improvement practices to streamline applications whilst ensuring assessments of applications deliver safe operations.

Principle: Risk and outcome-based.

Analyse the need to integrate RPAS operational requirements across the CASR framework to safely cater for the increasing complexity of RPAS aircraft and future operations.

Principle: Risk and outcome-based.

Continue working with ICAO and like-minded regulators at legal and operational levels to help develop regulatory solutions for the 12 nm issue.

Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.

Implement the necessary changes required to support the introduction of AAM operations to ensure that evolving standards and practices effectively enhance aviation safety.

Principle: Risk and outcome-based.
