AA1: Publish guidance on cybersecurity for RPAS
Updates
Consultation opened 5 November 2025 -
We would like your feedback on the draft advisory circular (AC) for airworthiness cybersecurity for remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS).
Airworthiness cybersecurity is about the protection of aviation information systems from cyber threats. most importantly, this relates to intentional unauthorised electronic interactions that may result in adverse effects upon the safety of an aircraft.
Submit your feedback by 5 December 2025 via our Consultation Hub.
Guidance under review -
Draft guidance material is undergoing final review. We expect to publish it for consultation by end of August 2025.

AA2b: Publish airworthiness criteria and certification guidelines for piloted AAM
Work with international regulatory authorities to harmonise guidance on the certification of piloted AAM, airworthiness criteria and means of compliance.
Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.

AA2b: Publish airworthiness criteria and certification guidelines for piloted AAM
Updates
Milestone update -
We anticipate that we will deliver guidance via an Advisory Circular (AC) incorporating both the national policy position (AA2a) and relevant airworthiness criteria.
We are balancing the benefits of incorporating learnings from early applicants against finalising the AC in line with the original milestone. Consultation with the Biannual Roadmap Technical Working Group informs how we do so.
Hydrogen symposium -
We held a hydrogen and fuel cell airworthiness meeting on 26 February 2025. Industry shared key challenges and gaps in the regulations. This work supports regulations for AAM aircraft in Australia.

AM5: Understand the decision points where an operator is required to use UTM services or other tools to maintain safe distances from other aircraft and obstacles
Understand the thresholds beyond which airspace users need to employ additional tools to maintain safe proximity from other aircraft and obstacles. We will conduct analysis to establish the demand drivers and operational circumstances that determine these threshold. This activity has a high number of interdependencies, which may impact timeframes and progress.
Principle: Risk and outcome-based.

OP11: Develop SMS and human factor policies for RPAS that are relative to risk and complexity
Updates
Clarification of activity -
We continue to work closely with Airservices and UAS service suppliers (USS) on the introduction of FIMS-enabled UTM services. Development of the Australian Future Airspace Framework is progressing. This work has better informed the next steps and feasibility of RPAS airspace activities. However, a high number of dependencies have been identified for this activity.
The previous wording of the activity was not clear. Through consultation with SMEs and the Technical Working Group the activity and milestone have been updated.

AM6: Prepare initial guidance for drone to drone deconfliction
Develop guidance to assist RPAS to maintain a safe distance from other RPAS cooperatively and responsively. This may include deconfliction methods including sharing operational intent transparently, and practices that can be adopted to prepare for the future environment.
Principle: Safety first.

AM6: Consider standardised airspace requirements for RPAS – RPAS and RPAS - AAM
Updates
Activity changes -
Progress on international separation standards remains slow. Our increased understanding of the diversity of RPAS operations, each with different risk profiles increases the complexity of this activity.
Through consultation with SMEs and the Technical Working Group, we have updated the activity and milestone. The changes more accurately reflect what we can realistically provide under current policy settings, technological uptake and equipage norms.
