Topics for presentation • GENERAL INTRODUCTION • EUROCAE WG73 AIRWORTHINESS • Work Approach • Expected outputs • PECULIAR ISSUES • System Safety Parameters & Harmonization Challenges • Airworthiness and Operation interrelated Aspects • CONCLUSIVE REMARKS
The EUROCAE Organisation • Established in 1963 as a European technical forum for administrations, airlines and industry. • Prepares minimum performance specifications for airborne electronic equipment as a basis for EASA Technical Standard Orders (ETSO). • Activities now extended to include complex CNS/ATM systems including their ground segment. • EUROCAE: • Is recognised by the European Commission as the unique body competent for the standardisation and interoperability required for the Single European Sky concept; and • is acknowledged by ICAO which references its documents.
European Aviation Safety Agency EUROCAE Working Group 73 • EUROCAE WG-73 was launched in April 2006 following earlier work by EUROCONTROL, NATO, and JAA. • WG-73 participates in the ICAO UAS Study Group. • WG-73 cooperates with other bodies dealing with UAS.
EUROCAE WG73 Objectives • Requirements framework that will support civilian UAS airworthiness certification and operational approvals. • Safe operation within non-segregated airspace in a manner compatible with other airspace users, including step by step process • Compatibility with the existing ATM regulatory framework; Investigation of longer term ATM adaptations Military Airworthiness Workshop, EU2009.CZ, Olomouc, Czech Republic, 5 June 2009

PECULIAR ISSUES- System Safety Parameters & Harmonization Challenges- Airworthiness and Operational Interrelated Aspects
Overall System Safety Objective Parameters • Manned versus Unmanned Requirement (“1309”) • Catastrophic Failure Definition tailored to UAS • System Safety Objective Definition • Individual versus Overall Objective • Absolute versus Relative Quantitative Objective • “Easy” conservative approach : use manned 1309 quantitative target “as is” (likely penalizing) • Absolute approach, defining acceptable risk for specific UAS hazards • Airworthiness versus Operational Safety Objectives • Restricted Type Certification Scenario
Airworthiness and Operational interrelated aspects • Any equipment that may be required under operational rules shall also be subject to airworthiness approval under relevant criteria • Operational assumptions that may be taken during the airworthiness certification process, as an example: • UAS envisaged mode of operation • Emergency Procedures considered in UAS System Safety Assessment • ATC interface, should be clearly identified. • Airworthiness versus Operational Safety Targets • Operational Restrictions envisaged in the framework of Restricted Type Certification Process.
Conclusive Remarks • Civil UAS Rule-making process takes more time… • Pragmatic approach • EASA UAS TC Policy framework • At this stage, Type Certification Basis on a case by case basis, considering specific UAS character. • Restricted TC to be also considered • Intermix of civil and military inevitable • Military UAS likely to be used in civil applications • Harmonization is a must • Civil / Civil • Civil / Military • Eurocae WG73 open to harmonization efforts and related cooperation
