Progress airspace modernisation towards the integration of RPAS and AAM into all airspace environments, ensuring a safe, efficient and cohesive operational environment.

Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.

Develop RPAS and AAM segregation requirements that leverage increasing levels of automation and emerging technologies in airspace management. These new requirements aim to enhance aviation safety and increase efficiency.

Principle: Safety first.

Principle: Safety first.

Consider the regulatory needs for integrating air traffic management systems (for instance, ATM and UTM) following the Civil Military Air Traffic Management System implementation and government policy direction on UTM.

Principle: Balanced and socially responsible.

Develop standards and capabilities to support low flight-level traffic management systems for AAM. This includes exploring existing standards, international developments and Australian airspace needs while aligning with government safety initiatives.

Principle: Safety first.

Commence implementation to mitigate identified risks and facilitate AAM airspace integration to assist broader acceptance by all airspace users.

Principle: Adaptive and scalable.

Research how international flight rules for RPAS and AAM have been implemented and investigate how existing flight rules apply to RPAS and AAM in Australia. Review Australian flight rules considering the evolving needs of AAM, anticipating the need to align with operational maturity and technology advancements over time. Identify future changes required including conspicuity and equipage considerations.

Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.

Develop an implementation plan under the AFAF, supported by a long-term strategic airspace plan that will support all airspace users. This will be reliant on both higher-level policy and operational technology.
