ANALYSIS
RPAS operators also have to report every incident with safety issues (control loss, failures…)
But only 20 sent in 2014 => appropriate safety culture has to spread out in RPAS community

Training
More than 60 training centres
On-going and coordinated process with a safety based approach
Future: Basic operations
Complex operations: remote pilot licence required with manned aviation experience

BVLOS operations have the greater economic development potential Regulatory evolution will be necessary to enable this development : heavier, higher, easier, integration with other airspace users Find the narrow path to improve certification keeping the costs interesting for the market R&D required A structure to foster the sector development : the national council for civil RPAS A collaborative approach between industry and Civil Aviation Authorities
Towards the future
