  1. Aircraft Certification

  2. Major Discussion Points • Unmanned aircraft/UAV systems • EASA discussed its Advanced NPA consultation; including its rationale for not addressing “sense and avoid” as part of a possible future certification standard and the response from a wide-range of organizations • FAA addressed the challenge of incorporating these systems safely into the National Airspace System in the United States • Alternative Methods for Approval: Case Study on Child Restraints • AMSAFE outlined its experience with certifying a child restraint device without an applicable TSO • Certification was based on 14CFR 21.305 • Example of how industry and government can partner to “think outside the box”

  3. Reaction from the Floor UAS • Will there be a joint military/civil certification for UAS? • Differences in weight limitations in U.S and Europe • EASA and NAAs will share responsibility based on weight of the UAS • Timeframe issue Child Restraints • Benefits of this system are evident—needs regulators’ speedy unencumbered approval. • Discussed general rulemaking challenges around child restraints. • Future models of industry operations will require “nimble” regulatory approaches.

  4. Outcomes/Additional Ideas • Both EASA and FAA view UAVs as SYSTEMS and agree that a comprehensive roadmap to the future is needed. • Authorities need to be open to creative solutions to the certification of new technology/innovations that make sense for safety. • Next year consider highlighting: • Industry’s vision for 2016 and what is expected of the authorities • EASA’s concepts for future general aviation certification • Continue the sharing of best practices/creative approaches
