Safety and resilience

Safety and resilience encompass the standards, systems, guidance, and management of safety for RPAS and AAM operations. Safety and resilience also include data-recording, incident and accident reporting, enforcement methods, and security of RPAS and AAM operations related to safety. This includes:

  • safety promotion
  • safety innovation
  • accident and incident reporting, analysis and investigation
  • safety oversight, improvement and enforcement
  • data collection
  • methods to determine the assurance of software
  • cybersecurity aviation safety regulatory considerations.

What we want to achieve

We will continue to work with existing security frameworks, while strengthening cooperative ties with other Australian government agencies.

We aim to take a scaled approach to safety management. This approach will allow innovation through:

  • flexible, informed risk-based solutions
  • ensuring high levels of safety and resilience for RPAS and AAM.
  • clear guidance
  • targeted safety promotion campaigns.

How we will do this

The safety and resilience regulatory area activities are as follows.
