There is an important point here beyond the news of Verticals updated DOAs impact on their certification process. This announcement indicates the CAA is moving more towards the use of in-house engineers for certification verification -a step known as in the FAA as Designated Airworthiness Representatives (DAR), Designated Engineering Representatives (DER), and Designated Manufacturing Inspection Representatives (DMIR). Some in the US aviation industry have seen the FAA step back from this policy. In my recent interview with Ed DeReyes (CEO Sabrewing Aircraft) that will be published in the Women and Drones emagazine Vertical Space, he said that this apparent shift of the policy has “slowed things down to the point nothing is happening….” Perhaps the CAAs move will give the FAA a reason to reassess their position with respect to DAR, DIR and DMIRs. In Mr. De Reyes opinion such a change back to the old FAA model would “… be great. It would save industry time and heartache.” With calls for more timely certification approvals to help the US gain its position in AAM, this indeed might be the way for the FAA to move. #aam #vertical #sabrewing #womenanddrones #singleseatconsulting

The notion and principle are highly beneficial.
Part 21 Light is a new part of the #EASA initial certification rules aimed at designers and manufacturers of aircraft primarily used for sports and recreation (General Aviation). It covers a limited and defined scope of lower risk products, but not drones or EVTOL. You can learn more about Part 21 our website 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXn9REip EASA will host two information sessions on Part 21 Light at the AERO Friedrichshafen on April 17 and 18. This is an in-person only event. You can book your FREE place on our event page 👉 https://lnkd.in/dMKi2d6P

On the Horizon: Shaping the Future of Drone Flight Regulations! Today, we’ve been at the forefront of innovation and regulatory progress with the Department for Transport (DfT), alongside other esteemed drone organisations. We’re engaging in critical discussions on the upcoming regulation and legislation proposals, a collaborative effort by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and DfT. We are diving into the intricacies of the consultation process, preparing the framework for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) flights, Atypical flights Consultation and SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) to align with EASA European Standards. This is a pivotal step toward advancing drone capabilities and ensuring UK regulations promote safe, efficient, and future-forward aerial operations. Stay tuned as we continue to contribute to these groundbreaking developments! Follow ARPAS-UK for more updates on this journey. #DroneRegulations #InnovationInFlight #FutureOfDrones #BVLOS #EASAEurope #DfT #CAA #DroneTech #S4GDroneServices

The FAA requires that anyone operating a drone commercially have a comprehensive understanding of the airspace they are working in. Just like the pilot of any aircraft, a commercial drone operator must understand how to read sectional charts. These charts help avoid hazardous and sometimes illegal flight. Let us help. Visit us at Aloftus.com to learn more. Now for a little fun! Comment below if you know what major US city is on this map. If that is too easy. Comment below what the red circle means.

This is something necessary to differentiate between these air vehicles that lie somewhere between a helicopter and an airplane but not quite either one in totality. But an SFAR itself is not a category. 14CFR Part 23 is for small aircraft, 14CFR Part 25 for large transport aircraft, 14CFR Part 27 for small rotorcraft and 14CFR Part 29 for large rotorcraft. So an SFAR is a Special Federal Aviation Regulation. SFARs cover things that don’t purely fall into a specific category. Once all the dust has settled and the FAA is satisfied with the regulatory basis they would create something like they did for drones which fall under 14CFR Part 107. But who knows what the final Part # will be assigned. There are very complex and unique things about multirotor motors controlling flight. Probably some severely critical requirements for software and logic controlling flight more so than for aircraft or rotorcraft. Vetting of software will be critical. And of course reliability of the entire system architecture.

Interesting to see the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) release a final Rule, for Powered-Lift Aircraft or Electric Air Taxi's as they are commonly referred to. 🚁 This represents a major step forward for autonomous Electric Air Taxi's not just in the US , but globally, as there are now regulatory guidelines to adhere to in this space. 💡 How will this impact the Commercial Drone sector in the US and Globally? This remains to be seen however, the future of aviation is clearly moving towards uncrewed systems. 🔉 Read more about this in this informative article by Dronelife: https://lnkd.in/eP7qx66W
