34 Appendix C to the Report INITIAL PROPOSALS FOR DRAFT PRINCIPLES FOR THE REGULATION AND SAFE OPERATION OF SMALL UAS IN NON-SEGREGATED AIRSPACE Note: This initial list includes: a) Items that may not constitute principles, but should be considered for inclusion in the guidance material arising from the finalized list of principles; and b) Item that are outside the scope of the APUAS/TF TOR, to be identified by the APUAS/TF/SWG. 1. Definitions and terminology to be harmonized with global standards and guidance 2. Applicability of UAS regulations to members of the public, organizations, institutions or any other agencies operating or intending to operate small UAS. 3. Defined requirements for safe operations/safety assessment (Note. A list of 18 requirements was provided. These can be worked into the guidance material) 4. Prevention of collision with manned aircraft 5. Minimize the risk of injury to persons or damage to property to an acceptably safe level 6. Recognize societal benefits of UAS and the need to facilitate operations in a safe manner 7. Safe and secure integration of UAS into the current aviation system. 8. Ensure consistency with and avoid duplication of work across all global forums (JARUS, etc). 9. Performance-based approach which allows for future technological flexibility 10. Ensure compatibility with ATM systems and interoperability with ATC, when required 11. Adequate training for suas remote pilots to safely interact in controlled airspace 12. Ensure safety of traffic transiting and separation of responsibilities between operations in uncontrolled airspace and ATC 13. Protect the safety of operations around airports and approach/departure procedures 14. Harmonization of guidance for the operation of suas requiring ANSP interaction to maintain the safety and efficiency of flight operations 15. Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) operations should limit the impact upon the wider ATM system. C - 1

35 Appendix C to the Report 16. suas should be as visible (electronically or otherwise) to other airborne traffic as practicable 17. Lost link flight paths of the suas should be predictable, programmable and limit interference with other airborne traffic 18. Noting that the target audience for APUAS TF can be either amateur or professional UAS operators, ICAO should guide states toward simple regulation that can be clearly articulated across the full range of stakeholders. 19. Regulation should not impose an undue burden on any UAS stakeholder 20. States should work through ICAO to facilitate regional consistency and predictability and regulations and standards that will enable easier operations for a wide range of applications. 21. Avoid national standards and rely on regional and globally adopted consensus standards to the extent practical in areas including safety, manufacturing and operational quality, and cyber security for both aircraft and UTM. 22. Regulations should be performance-based and technology-neutral. 23. Work toward a balance between airspace access and safety/security concerns through a risk-based approach. 24. Actively address cyber security concerns and promote a comprehensive ICAO framework that includes UAS with manned aviation 25. The principle of operator responsibility for their operation shall be maintained. 26. Member States and international organizations have raised concerns with regards the operational safety to manned aviation from conflicts with small unmanned aircraft. To address these concerns, the objective of the regional guidance for member States in the regulation of domestic suas is to identify the best practices amongst States for enabling and authorizing the safe operation of suas. 27. The regional guidance should be based on the notion of a pilot operating the aircraft from within the aircraft itself and more often than not with passengers on board. Removing the pilot from the aircraft raises important technical and operational issues, the extent of which is being actively studied by the aviation community 28. Certification requirements for application, UAS specification, operator and personnel competency requirements 29. UAS operational approvals and consent processes, operational requirements, separation/buffers between manned and unmanned aircraft, location restrictions w.r.t. controlled or uncontrolled airspace, 30. Surveillance requirements, geo-fencing, separation 31. Coordination and communication requirements 32. Public awareness of UAS and aviation safety 33. Enforcement policy C - 2

36 Appendix C to the Report 34. Consistency in airworthiness and certification standards 35. Consistency in pilot competency standards 36. Airspace management (e.g. avoid chunky airspace blocks in order for seamless flight paths) 37. Rules of engagement: manned-unmanned interaction and unmanned-unmanned interaction; separation standards for both manned-unmanned and unmannedunmanned 38. Emergency / contingency plans 39. Efficient ATM coordination procedures across national boundaries 40. Coordination of the Civil Aviation Authority and the Local Authorities in the information and dissemination of UAS rules and regulations and imposition of penalties. 41. Definition of areas where UAS are not allowed (or are allowed but limited to height) considering instrument flight procedures. 42. differentiate between commercial and non-commercial. 43. For commercial, UAS that involved in profit taking activities / specialized aerial work, traditional regulations should apply. 44. For non-commercial, especially for recreational, it should be categorized as: 45. below certain weight (eg. below 20kg MTOW) 46. operated only in low risk environment / non-integration into control airspace / within reserved (NOTAM) area 47. using standard allocated frequency assigned for unmanned aircraft (recreational) 48. safety parameters assigned, for example; o o o 50 m away from crowd 50 m away from obstruction Below 400 ft AGL 49. Requirement for accident/incident report if involved damage more than certain figure, for example more than ¼ of average individual monthly income in the country. 50. Operators license. 51. Guidelines should be provided especially for associations and club to encourage aviation knowledge assessment by association/club rather than by CAA. (CAA only provides guidelines) 52. Medical examination (to avoid operator lost control of UAS because of medical difficulties). C - 3
