Thank you for an amazing year 2024!!!

EASA and AESA’s Conference on FRM - Fatigue Risk Management The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Spain’s Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea (AESA) are collaborating to host a pivotal conference on Fatigue Risk Management (FRM) in Madrid, Spain, on February 4-5, 2025. This event aims to spotlight the critical issue of fatigue among aircrew and its implications for aviation safety. Fatigue in aviation refers to a state of physical and mental exhaustion that diminishes a pilot’s or crew member's ability to perform their duties safely and effectively. It can stem from long duty hours, irregular schedules, insufficient rest, or disruptions to the body’s natural circadian rhythm. Fatigue significantly impairs decision-making, reaction times, situational awareness, and overall performance, making it a recognized safety risk that demands proactive management. The conference will emphasize the necessity of mitigating aircrew fatigue to ensure safety risks are reduced to levels as low as reasonably practicable. It will explore various FRM methods, highlighting their differences and benefits, while fostering discussions on enhancing safety culture and promoting fatigue reporting systems. A key focus will also be placed on the importance of fatigue management training. By raising awareness among aircrew and airlines, training equips them with strategies to counteract fatigue, ensuring optimal performance and safeguarding crew health. Participants—including representatives from airlines, aircrew associations, and aviation authorities—will gain insights into best practices for FRM through presentations from industry leaders and oversight bodies. The event is designed as an open platform for sharing experiences, discussing challenges, and exploring solutions to fatigue-related risks. This conference underscores the aviation sector's commitment to tackling fatigue proactively and collaboratively, prioritizing safety and well-being in the skies. https://lnkd.in/dar76Jqm

An important update for all UAS designers that want to enable SAIL III operations for their customers. Yesterday EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency published a comprehensive set of Means of Compliance for the technical OSOs #03 #05 #06 #18 and #24. This major milestone is the result of more than two years of extensive work in the Air Worthiness Task Force composed of EASA and European NAAs including Luftfahrt-Bundesamt. The MoCs allow UAS designers to declare technical compliance of their drones via declaration forms accompanying the MoCs. These declarations can be used by UAS operators for an operational authorisation in SAIL III. Find all relevant information here: https://lnkd.in/eSnVs5yA

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the signing of the Convention on International Civil Aviation in Chicago. Congratulations International Civil Aviation Organization for this major milestone from all of us here at #EASA! https://lnkd.in/epGw2Kui #InternationalCivilAviationDay #WeAreAviation

Here is the reporting process and timeline for mandatory and voluntary reports. If you want to learn more you can now download the presentations and watch the recording from last week's Webinar on Occurrence Reporting for EASA Organisations. Thanks to all the colleagues from the EASA's Safety Data team who put this great session together with the support of one of our Safety Promotion Team. https://lnkd.in/eH5bHCUS

😎 Today I was hitting the slopes of the Bavarian Apls 🏔 early and in style! 🌤 Sun's out Guns out! What a start in the week taking my weapon of choice Velos Rotors V3 stacked with the diligent RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems miniVUX-3 out for a spin. For our strategic partner Alto Drones we took a survey flight 🛰 of the Family Skiing ⛷ Ressort of Ruhpolding/Unternberg. Why we choose the Velos for this kind of tasks? Because precision matters and every milimeter counts. In preparation for the winter season, the slopes are re-measured with millimeter precision in order to make snow management as effective as possible during the winter. The snow groomers are equipped with sensors and know exactly how high the snow deck is below them. This enables the snow to be transported as evenly and harmoniously as possible. This technology and effort ultimately makes the difference. At the end of a long season, the closing of the slopes and operations is pushed back by days or weeks and decides on success or failure in an economic sense. PS: Although the German approach to Geographical Zones according to Art.15 is often critizised, I am actually becoming a fan more and more of it. Having all the information you need at a glance on "dipul" like environmentally protected areas and other areas subjected to prior permission is quite handy. Luckily enough this flight didn't conflict with any of them though 😅 #LBA #DFS #dipul #UAV #UAS #Drone #SnowPower Kässbohrer #Skiing #Slopes #Ruhpolding #Bayern

Big update from #EASA! We've just released the updated Guidelines for UAS operations in the open and specific category, which now include best practices for drone flights over railways in the open category. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eFaz844h This, along with all the latest updates in the #IAM domain, will be discussed at the upcoming EASA Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) Implementation Forum from 22-23 October! This event will explore the future of air mobility, bringing together key stakeholders and experts. A few seats are still available for in-person participation, but there's no limit for online attendees. Don't miss out—secure your spot today! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eA2i2-E6 We encourage all UAS operators to prioritise #safety and responsibility in their operations, helping to ensure our skies remain secure for everyone.

HERO.aero unterstützt mit dem Einsatz von 🚀 Drohnen die 🌍 Energie-Versorgungssicherheit in Österreich und ebnet den Weg Richtung🌻 Energiewende! Gemeinsam mit unserem Partner - einem Österreichischen Energieversorgungsunternehmen - konnten wir erfolgreich Hangar-basierte ("Drone-in-a-Box") Drohnen von DJI im Rahmen eines 📈 skalierbaren, ♻ nachhaltigen und ⚙ hoch-automatisierten Betriebskonzeptes zeitgleich an insgesamt 4 Standorten in der Bundeshauptstadt Wien implementieren. Durch den Einsatz des DJI Dock 2 und der Matrice 3TD Drohne kann nun einerseits der zunehmende Kostendruck und Fachkräftemangel kompensiert werden, anderseits die ambitionierten Strategien hinsichtlich Digitalisierung und Automatisierung gleichermaßen umgesetzt werden. Im Zusammenhang mit dem Projekt mussten diverse 🚨 Herausforderungen gemeistert werden, die dank unserer umfassenden Expertise und Erfahrung sicher und rechtskonform umgesetzt wurden: 1. 🏭 Betrieb der Drohnen im urbanen Raum und innerhalb des Flugbeschränkungsgebiets Wien (LO R15) sowie in unmittelbarer Nähe zu Hubschrauberlandeplätzen und Flugverkehrsrouten der bemannten Luftfahrt. 2. 🛰 Betrieb außerhalb der Sichtweite (BVLOS - Beyond Visual Line of Sight) der Crew und gänzlich ohne Personaleinsatz - wie etwa Luftbeobachter - vor Ort. 3. 📑 Erstellung der begleitenden EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency konformen Compliance Dokumentation als Beilagen für den Antrag um Betriebsgenehmigung bei der Austro Control: 🔧 Wartungsprogramm 🎖 Trainingsprogramm 🎯 Analyse der Komplexität der Betrieblichen Verfahren nach der Bedford Workload Scale 🎮 Human Machine Interface (HMI) Assessment in Hinblick auf Human Error 4. 🕸 Einbettung des Drohnen-Betriebs und dessen kritische Prozesse und Verfahren in das IMS (Integrierte Management System) des Kunden. 5. ⏰ Zeitlicher Druck und Realisierung des gesamten Projektes in ingesamt nur 2 Monaten vom ersten "Hazard Identification Workshop" bis zum Ende der Beweisaufnahme durch die Luftfahrtbehörde. 6. 🛸 Sicherstellung der operativen Grundlagen für die Durchführung von einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Use-Cases und Anwendungsprofilen durch die Drohne innerhalb des Betriebsgebietes. Unsere Dienstleistungen im Zusammenhang mit Drohnen bieten wir in unterschiedlichen Modellen an. Durch unsere Unabhängigkeit und jahrelange Erfahrung finden wir Hersteller- und Produkt-agnostisch die beste Lösung.
