2/8/2024 0 Comments Uas drone definitionOn something as large and heavy as the Inspire, I’m always glancing at batteries balance as I fly, Sat’s locked and other sensors as need be. It’s impossible to frame a picture or video without looking at “telemetry” we’ll all have to go back 20 years when we had to guess the shot.Īs part of my safe flying procedure, telemetry has been invaluable at all times whether or not I’m 1 meter away or 500 meters. We are supposed to treat our Toys as though they are full sized aircraft “Shoot one down” and the law will feel your collar, yet no one is expected to fly their Piper without references to the flight instruments? To deny us the use of “telemetry” has in effect turned expensive SUAV into toys. I’ll add that this change doesn’t only apply to multi-rotor UAV but to all Remotely Operated Aircraft at your local flying fields too. In other words the telemetry of your drone will be used in law as evidence in prosecution of BVLOS. … which is pretty much ‘common sense’ at the end of the day. Whether the operation is during the hours of daylight, or night.Terrain and any other obstacles that may obscure the view of the UA from the RP.The weather conditions (fog, sun-glare etc).Any navigation lighting on board the UA.The colour and contrast of the UA against the sky.This distance depends on a number of factors, including: I only hope that a succinct ‘crib sheet’ will be released, and all CAA articles/training updated in coming weeks.įrom what I can tell (before my eyes started glazing over), is that VLOS compliance has changed:īeing able to control the visual flight path of the UA means keeping it within a suitable distance of the RP, such that the RP can maintain control of the flight path of the UA, to avoid a collision with other aircraft, people, obstacles or the ground. Neither of which has been used to write this document. The key is always brevity and simplicity. I’ve written hundreds of policies, procedures, work instructions, etc over the years, for 5,000+ user bases. Whilst the new definition of compliance is good, the majority of recreational drone operators won’t be prepared to read 74 pages in order to understand these changes, i.e. Lol, got anything that isn’t a 74 page PDF? This is separate to the UA technical logbook requirement set out in AMC1 UAS.SPEC.050(1)(g). This should be stored electronically, in order that it can be easily submitted to the CAA for oversight purposes. Duration (including whether in daylight, or at night).Aircraft identification (registration, if applicable, or serial number).RPs are expected to maintain a log book of flying activity, which may be used to demonstrate currency. For VLOS operations, this should be ‘live’ flight time, and not carried out on a simulator. The UAS Operator should identify the appropriate amount of recent flying experience in order to be considered ‘current’.Īs a minimum, RPs are expected to have logged at least 2 hours of total flight time in the last 3 calendar months on the type of UA applicable to the OA. The more I read, the more my eyebrows are going up…ĪMC1 UAS.SPEC.050(1)(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) Responsibilities of the UAS Operator To undertake the CAA DMARES Flyer ID test, a RP may only hold one Flyer ID Is equivalent to the completion of the CAA DMARES Flyer ID test. Following completion of this test, the CAA will issue the RP with a ‘Flyer ID’ number, which In certain circumstances, where provision is included within a model aircraft association Article 16Īuthorisation, RPs may complete a model aircraft association training course and test instead of the CAAĭMARES test. O The details of any practical assessment, if required Ġ A copy of the training material used to support the competence Simon, what’s the score now with Article 16? O The procedures relating to the administration of the competence assessment O A copy of all questions used in their pilot competence assessment On application for an Article 16 Authorisation, the association will need to provide: There is a lot more in that document, article 16 is interesting
