JULES KNEEPKENS

REVISED CIVIL AVIATION LAW 2018 + SINCE 2016 NEW QCAR’S (AR,OR,AMC, GM, CS))

QCAA REGULATORY PRINCIPLES

Introduction of the Total System Approach.

Move from prescriptive to

performance based regulations.

QCAA REGULATORY PRINCIPLES (CONTD.)

Standardise policies, procedures -> more

efficient, effective, robust and independent from staff

turn-over

Uniform regulatory system, from development

of regulations to the publication (and

implementation) of regulations.

QCAA REGULATORY PRINCIPLES (CONTD.)

Same structure/format for QCAA regulations (authority

and organisationrequirements). ( AIR, PEL, OPS, ANS/ATCO, ADR,

Occurrence Reporting, Rules of the Air etc.

One QCAA rulemaking process; One set of regulatory material (

regulations, directives, leaflets etc.)

BENEFITS (CONTD.)

Use the same regulatory products. (legal certainty)

01Uniformity towards the aviation stakeholders.

02Uniformity of QCAA presentation towards non-Qatar aviation organisations and governmental aviation organisations.

03Facilitate the continuous improvements of the regulations and make use of best practices from all over the globe.

DRONE REGULATION 9TH MARCH 2017 > 3 MAIN CATEGORIES

Category Main Features

A (Open) ‘Buy and fly’ No interaction with QCAA (Except registration) Severe operational limitations/ Sub categories ‘Awareness leaflet’ with consumer product Obligations on manufacturers or importers/ vendors

B (Specific) UAS operator interacts with QCAA No mandatory interaction for manufacturers or remote pilots De factor three sub-categories: ‘declared’, authorized’ and

‘certified’ operator Crossing borders possible based on bilateral agreements

C (Certified) ICAO compliant All certificates, license and approvals required by SARPs Eligible for navigation under IFR on the global scale

PERMITTED OPERATIONS

A B C

Toy aircraft Other than recreational operations, including commercial

Small model aircraft used for recreational purposes

-Commercial & non- commercial aerial work-Dropping of objects

Commercial and non- commercial aerial work

-Spraying of products and transport of dangerous goods-Autonomous UA-Air transport of freight or mail, commercial or not, subject to related traffic rights

UA Operation Categories

WHERE RPAS CAN FLY?

No drone zone (e.g. over critical infrastructure)

Limited drone zone (e.g. urban areas): B and C UA allowed

Drone zone (e.g. country side) A3 (25kg; severe injuries possible), B, C

A0 (<250 gr), A1 (only minor injuries), B, C

All UAS Categories allowed

Segregated Airspace

Large models (>25 kg)

STRENGTHS

3 regulatory processes clearly

identified and separated

3 categories (like JARUS/ EASA)

Comprehensive regulation

Security and insurance included

Large model aircraft in none

of the categories

Performance based

Technology independent• Lack of technical standards

does not prevent to promulgate rules

• Evolution of technologies may not require amendment of the rules

WEAKNESSES

Very crude thresholds between categories, pending

further international developments

Technical standards to fulfill some operational

requirements (e.g. electronical identification)

not yet available

Technical requirements demanding for small

drones

Standard scenarios not yet consolidated internationally

Not yet AMCs

SINCE 17TH JUNE 2017 “ ABNORMAL SITUATION ”

Specific measures were taken in reply to the abnormal situation.

- No flight of any leisure / non-commercial drone except in one special designated airspace. - Commercial operators can only operate when they are contracted by a governmental

organisation. - Only after the applicant has received the approval to make use of a commercial drone

operator- The AND is authorised to provide the operator instructions w.r.t. time/place/heights etc.

NORMAL TIMES

Resume the responsibilities by the different parties as described in the applicable Laws & regulations .

Update the existing QCAR on Drones.

Gradually extend the airspace where the use of drones is permitted.

The gradually extending is also related to the possibility to integrate the drones safely into the airspace.

QCAA would like to make use of ‘SESAR-experience” to facilitate integration of drones into the airspace.

One of the critical elements in the ’ integration’ is the timely involvement of various responsible authorities ( civil/military) during the ‘ authorisation process’ of a specific flight.

TO CONCLUDE

Better “ safe than sorry”

Time flies, to let drones flies

Update of the existing drone regulation

The QCAA would like to make use of best-practices

CORUSConcept of Operations for EuRopean UTM Systems

Project summaryCORUS principal objective is to develop a reference concept of operation for U-space. Building on the findings of the CORUS Exploratory Workshop (Jan 2018 - around 90 participants) the project has produced an Initial CORUS ConOps document, and the Intermediate ConOps is under review.

In 2019, the project will• Develop the U-space architecture• Develop the concept of operations• Manage the 3rd CORUS Workshop (week of the 1st of

April).• Disseminate to the community and especially EASA

More later today!

U2 U3 Concept of OperationsU4

CORUS workshop

We develop requirements (example)

The project DREAMS is about information management, focused on Aeronautical information. • A set of scenarios and Use Cases that will

be used in a flight trial.• The scenarios are about most of the drone

future traffic is expected (e.g. Urban, uncontrolled air space, BVLOS,…) and further define the related aeronautical information.

• Using existing performance standards the project challenges the requirements to define the U-space related performance requirements.

RPAS Civil Operators & Operations Forum – Madrid 2019

We develop requirements (example)

The project CLASS is about tracking and surveillance. • The project team has set-up a real life

simulation to validate a solution to protect airports from any intrusion (cooperative or non-cooperative drones)

• The flights took place in October 2018 in the UK.

• The team has collected a lot of valuable data that will allow them to develop functional & technical requirements for such solution

• International cooperation• Military considerations• Conclusion


Agenda

Conclusion

• UAS are becoming more and more common, and they have the potential to be very disruptive, but …

• … they are also very useful.• New provisions need to be made to enable their operations and to encourage

new growth• U-space will enable smaller drones to co-exist with manned aviation safely

and efficiently• Larger drones – civil and military – will fly transparently to the ATM system …

almost!• All developments must respect the safety of people and property, in the air

and on the ground, personal rights, national security and the environment.• International and multi-stakeholder cooperation is essential.• In Europe SESAR JU, the European Commission, EUROCONTROL, EASA and EDA

work closely together to build a safe and productive future for European citizens

What’s the big

(U‐space) picture?

Avoid multiple systems!

U-Space Service Providers (suppliers)An emerging market

• Rapidly growing number of USSPs (60+) within Europe

• Around 10% of existing providers have capability to provide an extended set of U-space services

• Detailed information of USSPs service capabilities not easily available

• Lack of interoperability between suppliers

• Lack of standardised approach to implement U-space services

CORUS inherits the definition of U-space in services and levels From Blueprint and Roadmap

CORUS initially describes a way of working in the reasonable cases then works towards the more difficult situations

CORUS makes very few assumptions about technology

CORUS defines an architecture top-down The sibling projects explore the same architecture bottom-up

CORUS subdivision of VLL into Volumes

X: No conflict resolution or separation service is offered

Y: Pre-flight conflict resolution is offered only

Z: Pre-flight conflict resolution and in-flightseparation are offered

Access to X is easy No operation plan needed

All responsibility for separation is with the remote pilot

Facilitates VLOS and Open class operations BVLOS or Autonomous ops need significant

risk mitigation

Y and Z airspace offer pre-flight conflict resolution

Access to Y or Z is based on acceptance of an Operation Plan Y & Z can be used to implement No Drone

Zones Either can have specific requirements for flight

(equipment, training, …) Y & Z offer Traffic Information

Needs surveillance and tracking Z offers in-flight conflict resolution

Either by U-space service Or by ATS in controlled airspace

Y facilitates BVLOS Z enables higher densities

8


Operation Planning & Tracking in Y & Z volumes

Drone ops plan differs from ICAO 4444 plan

But covers the same information Who flies What Where and When + supplementary info

Uncertainties need to be explicit “Take off between 14:00 and 14:45”

Plans are used for pre-flight conflict detection Probability of conflict needs to be considered The conflict detection should be useful

Tracking will mostly use dependent surveillance. The drone pilot/operator will be responsible for

ensuring position reports are sent Reports may be derived from E-Identification

Many surveillance sources will not be certified Track data of limited value Warnings can be given Pilot or Detect-and-Avoid must remain involved

Type Z volumes may require certified surveillance sources

Tracking drones helps protect manned aviation who may enter VLL Even imprecise tracks are better than none…

Challenges for UTM/ATM

– Create open market to drive innovation and business– Complex integration or complex large monolithic systems?

– Amount of information rapidly increasing – Safety and Security– Capacity management

SWIM

Covers a complete change in paradigm of how information is managed along its full lifecycleImplementation of SWIM will enable direct business benefits to be generated by

– assuring the provision of – commonly understood – quality information delivered – to the right people – at the right time.

SWIM in UTM powered by FIMS

FIMS is a key enabler for a successful UTMIt connects:

– Multiple authorities– Multiple Service Providers– End users

It creates an open environment:– Combine „best of breed“

products– Flexible and secure

It provides oversight

A use case in UTM…An operator opens a new business and registers pilots and drones.Competence check performed by authority.Is requested to fly a laser scanning mission. Files a mission plan. The Flight is partially in controlled airspace. Approval from ATM is requested and granted. Pilot gains overview on traffic around (from ATM and other U‐spaceservice providers, from general public).Authority – uses identification to perform a routine „drone check“.Post‐flight.

PRE‐FLIGHT

In the big picture

Pre Flight – registering and mission planning

Pre Flight – flight plan approval

IN‐FLIGHT

In the big picture

In Flight – collaboration with ATM

In Flight‐ E‐Identification

POST‐FLIGHT

In the big picture

Post Flight

FIMS

Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't think

anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other

U‐Box concept – a solution for the identification and the tracking


From Cooperative to Non Cooperative surveillance

• U‐Space concept relies on cooperative surveillance model

• While no technologies exist to guarantee the Non‐Cooperative surveillance of the drones in an high range (i.e. similar to primary radar technology), Leonardo has useful technologies whichcan be applied for the protection of sensible areas (e.g. aerodromes)

• Leonardo realized an innovative and strategic multisensor, low cost solution for “point/position defence”, using:

• Real Time RF communication signals analysis, monitoring and classification• FMCW technology Early Warning Radar sensor• advanced EO/IR camera• innovative Enhanced Drone Acoustic Sensor• Smart jamming and spoofing techniques

• Detect and track multiple threats simultaneously, providing precise location, heading and speed details.

• Modular Architecture, can be tailored depending on operational, environmental and cost/effectiveness requirements.

Radar overview - Holographic Radar technology

“Floodlights” a volume of interest on transmit

Forms multiple simultaneous receive beams that fill the illuminated volume

Non scanning so it can monitor multiple targets frequently (4 times/sec) and continuously.

Enables track creation despite erratic flightpath

Time on target enables system to discriminate UAV from other objects (birds…)

▌ Solution A: Protecting an airport with two runwaysRadar at the end of the runway, "Safety" centered5 km protection after the runway thresholdLack of protection on sensitive central areasNo management of collaborative drones

▌ Solution B: Safety + Security + UTM centered radarsProtection over 5 km from the central zone (lower than A)Lower protection distance after take-offRealization of the "Security" functionIn addition, the system allows the creation of a 360° UTMbubble covering 10 times the area of CDG (32 000 ha)and therefore better anticipation of collaborative UASflights, to cohabit with air traffic
