1 Integrating Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) A Strategic Approach Presented to: By: Date: FAA-LACAC-IATA Seminar FAA July 25-27, 2016

2 The Challenge UAS integration is more than creating new rules, policies, and processes Volume Pace New UAS entering the NAS New users joining the aviation community Technological innovation Regulatory, policy, and procedural changes High demand on regulator time and resources

3 The Growing Commercial Interest Commercial Interest Data The New Aviation Community Tools Infrastructure Operators

4 Comparing the Manned and Unmanned Communities 593, ,000+ UAS users in 6 months 600, , , , , , ,000 25,000 20,577 0 Certificated Pilots (Manned) Registered Hobbyists (Unmanned) 20,000 15,000 10,000 6,676 3,800 UAS registrations 5,000 0 Manned Commercial Aircraft Unmanned Commercial Aircraft PER DAY

5 UAS Integration Strategy Most Complex UAS 1. Managing NAS Access Policies & Procedures (Pathfinders, COE, ExCom) Concept Validation (Pathfinders, CACI) Research Results (Test Sites, COE) Path to Full UAS Integration Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) Small UAS Registration Industry Standards (Micro UAS ARC) 2. Performance-Based Regulatory Standards Least Complex UAS Least Complex Operations Operator Certification Only Aircraft + Operator Certification Most Complex Operations

6 Managing NAS Access Increasing Operational Risk, Complexity & Cost Drivers Hobbyist, VLOS (Part 101 E) Registration Website Hobbyist Pathfinder 1 VLOS Over People Commercial Small UAS, VLOS (Part 107 and Micro Rule) Online Airspace Authorization Commercial VLOS Pathfinder 2 EVLOS Automated Airspace Notification & Authorization Tools Public BVLOS / Extended Operations (Part 107.xx) Pathfinder 3 BVLOS Ground Based Sense & Avoid Low Altitude Automation and Scheduling (UTM) Geofencing Technologies Commercial BVLOS Integrated (Part xx) Dynamic Spectrum Allocations for Command & Control Terminal Flight Data Manager NAS System Integration (CNS) Airborne Detect & Avoid Integrated

7 System Safety The Safety Continuum + Risk of accidents due to inadequate safety program Too little rigor Safety escapes Fatal accidents increase SEEK Establish appropriate balance in our regulatory approach Achieve safety objectives while imposing the least burden on society. Total Risk Too much rigor Innovative safety enhancements don t reach the fleet Finite dollars that could be spent on safety enhancements go elsewhere Fatal accidents increase Risk of accidents due to lack of safety innovation - Extent of Safety Effort

8 Rulemaking Approach >12,500 lbs. (Global Hawk) Increasing Operator Certification >2,000 lbs. (Predator) >1,000 lbs. (Hunter) Society s Demand for Safe Outcomes Zero Risk <55 lbs. (Scan Eagle) <4.4 lbs. (3DR Solo) No Operations No Innovation <2.5 lbs. (DJI Phantom) <1 lbs. (Parrot Bebop) <0.5 lbs. (Hubsan X4) Less Demand Public Demand for Safety Assurance Societally Accepted Risk & Desire for Low Cost More Demand Absolute Safety

9 Focus Area Pathfinder Operations Pathfinder 1: CNN Pathfinder 2: PrecisionHawk Pathfinder 3: BNSF Ops over People EVLOS Ops BVLOS Ops

10 Developing Operating Standards Large UAS / high energy output Most Potential Risk Mature Standards includes specific FAA airworthiness and operations limitations (e.g. package delivery) Full UAS integration Small UAS / low energy output Least Potential Risk Generic Standards industry based (e.g. real estate photography) Low risk, segregated Sec. 333 Micro Part 107 Part 107 Expansion Current Mid Long Within VLOS or segregated operating area Beyond VLOS or populated operating area

11 UAS Strategic Planning FAA Strategic Initiatives UAS Mission Statement UAS Strategic Plan Strategic Priorities Implementation Plan LOB, S/O Business Plans and Budget Planning

12 UAS Strategic Priorities UAS Strategic Plan Safety: Enable safe UAS operations within the NAS Adaptability: Create an environment where emergent technology can be safely and rapidly introduced into the NAS Global Leadership: Shape the global standards and practices for UAS through international collaboration

13 Meeting the Challenge UAS integration is more than creating new rules, policies, and processes Volume Pace New UAS entering the NAS New users joining the aviation community Technological innovation Regulatory, policy, and procedural changes Internal and external coordination, communication, and collaboration
