Aira Case Study

Because I own and operate an aerial imaging company, I have a vast knowledge of what is required to go into each and every drone operation. I am able to help the EOC determine what is necessary for any person or organization to safely operate sUAS on UCF property. I would also like to extend my knowledge to the EOC to help create the drone policy that will go into effect on UCF’s campus. Furthermore, I will make myself available on a emergency/non-emergency basis to fly sUAS on behalf of the University. Non-emergency applications could include aerial mapping, photo, or video, while emergency applications could include missing persons case, surveillance, or damage assessment.

Be that as it may recreational clients of Uavs weighing short of what 35 kilograms — considered "model airplane" in government terms — needn 't bother with authorization from the elected division to send their remote-controlled gadgets undetermined.

An assessment of Aircraft Solutions (AS) as to what Security Vulnerabilities that might be found, two areas discussed are Hardware & Policy weakness and impact.

Thirdly, what applications can be implemented in the near future to catch up with UAS technology quickly surpassing current regulations?

Currently the majority of the UAVs operated by the United States are military assets, and as such are subject to policies, requirements and regulations of the military. These safety requirements will be briefly discussed. As unmanned systems are integrated into national airspace they will be operated in increasing numbers by civil operators, for this reason we will also look at civil safety requirements. UAS will also present some unique situations which have up to this point not been experienced; this will require new areas to be incorporated into the aviation industrial safety arena to ensure our current level of safety is not degraded through their inclusion. This paper will investigate aviation industrial safety as it applies specifically to

The reorganization of how the government will create regulations for aviation has now come to its final home, the future of United States day to day aeronautical operations is now the responsibility of the FAA. The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 was a big step that the government took to getting to how we know Aviation today. When you think of United States Aviation the FAA usually comes to mind, and for good reason, the FAA has been a huge component in shaping new technologies and ways of running the National Airspace System (NAS). All of these contributions to the advancement aeronautics, through the FAA, could not have been possible if it weren’t for the reconstruction of government involvement in aviation. From the Air Commerce Act of 1926, to the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, the government has had a significant influence on how we conduct day to day aeronautical operations, ranging from reducing emissions, to improving navigational systems, and ATC

In 2012, the United States of America's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was directed to integrate the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) with the National Airspace System (NAS). This was after a report indicated that there was a lot of opportunity which had remained unexploited by prohibiting the use of drones. Realistically, the use of UAVs for commercial purposes will create more financial and job opportunities considering the fact that the UAV is flexible and they require low operation and maintenance costs. However, for this to happen, there should be clear rules and regulations which will govern the purchase and the ultimate use of unmanned aerial vehicles.

Although the potential contribution of UAVs to sectors such as environmental protection, law enforcement and various commercial activities is apparent, they still seem not to be ready for civilian use. This is due to several reasons, including e.g. civilian UAVs (CUAVs) requiring different technological solutions such as optimized platforms, different endurance requirements, dedicated payloads and different ground control systems. An additional important problem to be solved is the integration of UAVs in the civilian airspace, which will require the adoption of civilian airworthiness standards and proven safety features. Last but not least trust has to be created, both at the public sectors and the commercial community, that CUAVs have economic advantages ( Vanclay 2003)

Aviation Security is a huge concern in the United States. With increasing threats of terrorist plots, especially after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Department of Homeland security has made huge leaps to keep America’s travelers, airports, and airways safe. With growing concerns of terrorism and other issues, the Department of Homeland Security put in place an organization known as TSA (Transportation Security Administration) and other federal regulations under the Aviation and Transportations Security Act of 2001. It has been 10 years since the establishment of TSA and the new rules of air travel, even though recently they have fallen into a realm of criticism with their new body scan techniques. After the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks aviation security has been one of the biggest issues in the world. There are several ways in which airports and cargo shipments are protected and there are different types of technologies that are currently being used to assist in these efforts to keep airports and cargo shipments safe guarded.

In late 2011 one man was hired by a commercial company to take aerial footage of The University of Virginia using a drone. Pirker is the name of the pilot and during this flight he was called out by the FAA or the Federal Aviations Association, the group in charge of all United States legal air space. The FAA charged Pirker with reckless flying and posing harm to those around the flight. Upon reviewing the footage gathered by Pirker it is shown him piloting a RC plane made of foam under bridges and around helicopter pads. His actions during the flight were not the safest but in itself did not pose much of a threat. But after all the dust cleared Pirker was fined $10,000 and on top of that he stirred up the beehive that is the mess between the FAA and the drone community. After his trial the FAA broke down and put in place rules and regulations for drones. From this point forward drone piloting would get a lot harder for both the commercial pilots who were guilty by association to Pirker and drone pilots who only fly for recreational purposes like

Airport safety is one of the Federal Aviation Administration's biggest concerns. They are tasked with tracking over 10,400,000 commercial flights every year, not including military and non-commercial flights (Canavan). Collisions and crashes are the two major causes of injuries and death. Air travel accidents date all of the way back to 1908 (Old). Orville Wright, one of the original inventors of the airplane, was flying a demonstration for the military when a propeller suddenly was ripped off of the airplane. The passenger, Lieutenant Selfridge was killed when the plane hit the ground (Old). The Federal Aviation Administration has come a long way since the 1960’s to improve safety (Mission). They have implemented various systems such as the United States program, NextGen Program, and the Air Transportation

The FAA is the national authority in charge of managing all aspects of both manned and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Authorizes State, local or Tribal governments authority to regulate UAS operations via restrictions on the time, speed, manner and place of civil UAS operations with in 200 ft of ground level or 200 ft of a structure

For the safety of the air traffic system, Part 139 states that, “No person may operate an airport specified under 139.1 of this part without an Airport Operating Certificate or in violation of that certificate, the applicable provisions, or the approved Airport Certification Manual” (FAA, 2004). The Advisory Circular 150/5200-18C that is applicable to Airport Safety Self-Inspection notes the importance of a self-inspection program to identify unsatisfactory conditions to facilitate prompt corrective actions (FAA, 2015). The following essay uses both Part 139 and Advisory Circular 150/5200-18C to detail some of the responsibilities, inspections record requirements, basic inspection techniques, and different types of inspections used to comply with government regulations.

Set navigational areas over which flying is prohibited, restricted or dangerous on coordination with the concerned authorities in the State.
