Design and Airworthiness

The objective of the work on Design & Airworthiness Standards (D&AW) is to develop Acceptable Means of Compliance and supporting standards in the framework of EASA’s UAS certified category on topics such as Automatic Recovery, Flight Termination system, Remote Pilot Station (RPS) and Human factors. Pending availability of the emerging EASA RPAS Certification Specifications, two activities have been currently identified:
– Support to the development of AMC 1309 on UAS System Safety Assessment Objectives and Criteria, based upon recommendations of the JARUS EUROCAE WG-73 conciliation team report;
– Standardization of RPS, with a focus on key enablers for Air Traffic Integration of RPAS, such as communications and information exchanges with ATC.
– Drafting of Means of Compliance (MoC) in support of regulation (e.g. L-UAS.).
