Report On The Small Unmanned Aerial System

* Equipment, material and the environment are checked and any hazards are identified and removed

Risk assessments – are carried out before a member of staff enter a new SU or a senior member will firstly do the initial call to complete all assessments *

Testing of the entire system will be performed to verify that all parts and counterparts are functional. This is the testing that is made prior to release. Tests performed in this stage verify for the following:

Clear procedures for risk assessment (e.g. the regular checking of equipment for damage and to make sure it is safe)

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have become a quickly growing part of the aviation community over the last five to ten years. More and more of these aircraft are flying in the National Airspace System (NAS) with each passing year, without any set rules governing their operation. With the growing population of UAS in the NAS, for military, civil, and commercial use, the need for regulation is becoming increasingly obvious. How to regulate this type of aircraft is no simple task. Taking into consideration the many factors of these aircraft such as size, purpose, who is using them, and location of use, it is difficult to determine what regulation is required. That is the task that has been set before the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). To determine what type of regulation is needed to integrate and ensure the safe operation of UAS in the NAS since the skies that they share are shared with manned aircraft.

Evaluate conditions at the facility to assess if there is a need to implement new security measures.

Would you be able to control the drone without keeping track of the machine from the ground? In this case, it is time to consider whether you should hit on a solution with the First Person View, that is where you are in a monitor (or a pair of glasses) can see directly through the drone camera, live.

Is safe to use drone in war and use them here in the United States to protect us? I believe that it is safe to us drones in warfare because it saves people lives. The use of drones in war may be a good thing or it may be a bad thing to use. Over the course of this paper I will show you what all drones are good for and some of where they are not the greatest. I hope I will be a get help to the side that I am trying to show the positive of drones in warfare.

The self-inspection program is considered to be a key component of an airport operator’s airport certification program and required under 14 CFR Part 139.327. The responsibility of the self-inspection program falls primarily to the airport owner or operator. Even though it is possible for some hazards to develop suddenly, most hazardous conditions develop over time and are more gradual. As a result, it is important that the airport has a comprehensive airport safety self-inspection program in order to identify and correct any deteriorating safety conditions. The scope of the

Check in with security personnel periodically to ensure an appropriate system is being followed to identify those under the legal drinking

“Self-inspection is a primary responsibility of the airport owner, operator, or a duly authorized representative” (FAA, 2004). At most airport the responsibility of a self-inspection safety program is the responsibility of the operations manager or the airport manager. Advisory Circular 150/5200-18C states that, “Primary attention should be given to such operational items as pavement areas, safety areas, markings, signs, lighting, aircraft rescue and fire

Many risks are associated with the emergence of new technologies or methods for performing a task or doing a job. There is the likelihood of speculation and speciesism. In some cases, there may even be panic on the part of workers fearing the loss of their livelihood or by companies who have not been able to keep up with new technologies and methods. Furthermore, in the case of drone delivery there must be some safeguards put in place to insure proper operation. For instance, if drone deliveries start to become common place, then there must also be some strict security measures in place to prevent misuse and deter ill intent. This could include monitoring and maintaining the drones themselves. The proper training and oversight of those who

In order to maintain well organized and managed processes, every organization will need to implement some form of inspection methods or adhere to inspections set forth by overarching authorities. For airports serving, or intending to serve, air carrier operations, the Federal Aviation administration’s (FAA) Regulations 14 CFR Part 139 defines specific policies, activities, and standards for airfield operations management that are required for compliance (Wells & Young, 2011). In addition, the FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5200-18C provides information to airport operators on airport self-inspection programs and identifies items that airport operators should include in such a program (U.S. Department of Transportation, 2004). Using these two references, applicable airports are equipped to conduct self-inspections, which are vital to ensuring safe operations and compliance with stated requirements.

Abstract— The development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) technology has increased at an incredible rate in recent years. The market currently includes many different varieties and classes of UAVs, but none currently offer long range beyond line of sight flight over cellular networks. The only existing networks currently utilized for long-range flight are i-Fi networks. However, flying over Wi-Fi has range limitations that restrict the full use of the UAVs. Therefore, the goal of this project is to design a UAV control system using existing cellular networks as the primary mode for communication. In order to accomplish this objective, an Android OS based application that is capable of sending and receiving signals between two Android smartphones will be designed. One of the phones will be on the UAV itself and the other in the hand of the pilot. Through these devices, the user will be able to control the UAV while also receiving critical information from the drone— such as Global Positioning System (GPS) location, live video feed, system statuses, and flight diagnostics from the UAV. A hardware interfacing circuit will be designed to interpret the control signals from the phone and pass them to the UAV for flight control. Additionally, a crash avoidance algorithm incorporating the position of other flying UAVs will be integrated into the system. This will provide a platform to reduce the number of user based crashes as well as reducing the risk of damaging a UAV.

Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are a class of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), significantly smaller than typical UAVs. UAVs are aircrafts without human pilot aboard. These are controlled either automatically by on board computers or through remote control by a pilot on the ground [3]. The modern aircrafts can be as small as 20 centimeters. The design features and the configurations of MAVs are different from that of normal aircrafts. The speeds of MAVs are very low and the size is less than 30 cm in length, width or height. With the development and comfort of electronics, smaller aircrafts, which can perform various tasks that were previously performed by manned aircrafts or larger UAVs, have been possible. Commercially off shelf components like motor, propeller, ESC, servo motor, battery, autopilot, data modem, camera (Payload), video Transmitter are tested and trained for performance and is then integrated with MAVs for autonomous flight operations as shown in Figure 1.1 [4].
