Beschreibung

Security is the main objective of civil aviation. How safe is safe, that is to say, when something can be considered safe, is a question that concerns all human activities. The integration of human-powered aircraft in the civil aviation system is based on the principle that the existing level of safety must not be compromised by the use of these aircraft. The book briefly discusses the risks inherent in the operation of remotely piloted aircraft, discusses the concept of risk, analyzes the security implications of operations, and, in particular, addresses the category of remotely piloted aircraft weighing less than 25kg , provides some guidance on how to conduct an assessment of the risks that could be caused by their use, in order to verify their suitability for operations.

FOREWORD

This little book originated as an attempt to collect my view on the challenges brought by the unmanned aircraft operations, it reflects many years of working dedicated to this matter.

The subjects have been selected so as to survey briefly the main aspects.

I have given special attention to the recent regulations and policies, and existing approaches and methodologies.

The book discusses the concept of risk, analyses the safety implications of the operations, and, addressing, in particular, the small remotely-piloted aircraft, provides some indications on how to conduct a safety risk assessment.

PART I

INTRODUCTION

Aircraft capable of flying without the need of a pilot on board are starting to become more and more familiar, they represent one of those technological evolutions destined to become a daily habit. These aircraft are not a new phenomenon, indeed, the origin dates back to the mid-1800, but their utilization, for many years, was being confined almost exclusively to the military field, where they have found use, especially, in those, so-called 3D, operations, i.e. dull, dirty and dangerous operations.

Remotely piloted aircraft in the civil market are relatively recent, the early 2000 can be considered the beginning of the civil development.

They are, now, increasingly imposing in the world of civil aviation, by virtue of the ability to act as a substitute, or to work side by side with existing means, and, also, to carry out missions, otherwise nearly impossible, by the traditional means, and with operating costs significantly lower.
