  2. 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

  3. INTRODUCTION- Eurocae- Eurocae WG73

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  9. WG73 Deliverables & Status • Deliverable 1 (Inventory of Issues) • Agreed January 2007. • Deliverable 2 (Work Plan) • First version end 2007, ongoing iterations • Deliverable 3 (Concept Document) • 1st iteration second quarter 2009 • Final Agreed Version second quarter 2010. • Deliverable 4 (Command & Control) / Deliverable 5 (Sense & Avoid) • In coordination with US RTCA SC-203 • Deliverable 6 (ATM Incompatibility Issues) • Ongoing activity.

  10. EUROCAE WG73 SG2 AIRWORTHINESS- Work Approach- Expected outputs

  11. EUROCAE WG73 Airworthiness WP Approach EASA TC Policy R.Y000-01 UAS Type Certification Basis (1)Select & Tailored Manned CS (2) System Safety Objectives & Criteria (3) Special Conditions (Control Station, C3 etc…) Consider also Restricted Type Certification & C of A Process & Criteria Eurocae WG 73 SG2 Work Packages Generic Criteria & Recommendations Relating to (1) & (2) & (3) • INPUTS/INTERFACES/COORDINATION: • SG1 & SG3 WPs • Draft USAR/STANAG 4671 • FAA System safety Group • RTCA SC 203 DO-304 & WG1 • Any other

  12. INTRODUCTION REFERENCES UAS AIRWORTHINESS CONSIDERATIONS UAS TYPE CERTIFICATION BASIS EASA General Regulations EASA UAS Policy UAS Airworthiness Categorization EASA CS Tailoring EASA CS Tailoring Guidelines UAS Safety Objectives & Criteria Additional Airworthiness Certification Criteria RESTRICTED TC & CoA CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS Conceptual approach to support UAS Manufacturers and Civil Airworthiness Authorities Develop further guidelines compared to generic EASA UAS TC policy Identify future UAS Special Conditions issues and parameters EUROCAE UAS WG73 Deliverable 3 Airworthiness Volume(Draft Lay Out)

  13. PECULIAR ISSUES- System Safety Parameters & Harmonization Challenges- Airworthiness and Operational Interrelated Aspects

  14. 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

  15. Safety Criteria – Harmonization Challenge Illustration

  16. 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.

  17. CONCLUSIVE REMARKS

  18. 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
