EUROCONTROL Operating principles

• UAS are transformational - must be integrated safely and seamlessly into non-segregated airspace

• UAS operations - equivalent level of safety or better to manned aircraft

• UAS should not increase the risk to other airspace users and should not deny them access to airspace and impact capacity

Safety implications

Stopping Industry

Urgent need to have a consolidated EUROPEAN approach

AIRPORTSAIRPORTS

No integrated UAS operations so far

Three phased regulatory approach envisaged;

Segregation

Enabling present technology

Integration based on new technology

Need to develop ATM airport procedures

Summary

Our

ATM-UAS

Vision

UAS are an integral element of the SES

ATM integration capitalising on first steps

HARMONISATION is essential

Effective support

FILE and FLY remains the goal

UAS technology beneficial to manned aviation

Written contributions will be taken into account!
