The aviation industry has always been at the forefront of technological advancements, consistently pushing the boundaries of innovation. Over the years, we have witnessed remarkable progress in the field. However, one technology has recently taken center stage, promising to revolutionize the aviation industry like never before, artificial intelligence (AI).
The aviation industry has been no stranger to automation for many years now. From autopilots in planes to automated baggage handling in airports, technology has played a significant role in streamlining operations and improving safety. However, with the rise of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) or drones, a new term has been thrown into the mix: autonomy. Unfortunately, this term has caused a lot of confusion, and as a result, the Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned Systems (JARUS) has published a document to provide a common framework for discussing the implementation and impact of progressive automation of functions.
EU Drone Port has obtained various Operational Authorisations for drones weighing more than 25 kg for various uses. These include authorisations for drones such as the FreeFlight Alta X with an MTOM of 34.86 kg for use in the film industry and drones weighing over 300 kg authorised to be tested at our test center.
Drones have revolutionised the way various tasks are performed today, from surveillance to package delivery. With the advancement of technology, an exciting innovation that is in development is the possibility of performing autonomous or remotely controlled flights from a control center. This has become possible thanks to so-called "drone nests", “drone-in-a-box” or “Drone dock” specially designed charging and resting stations for these unmanned aerial vehicles.
As drone technology continues to advance, so too does the need for appropriate insurance coverage. In Europe, regulations governing drone insurance have been established to ensure the safety and responsibility of drone operators. This article aims to provide an overview of these regulations, including the role of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and key insurance requirements for drone operators.
The CE Marking is a symbol that indicates that a product is compliant with the essential requirements of the directives and regulations that apply to it. These essential requirements are understood as the general conditions of a product to preserve safety.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has released new regulations that will require all drones operating in the European Union to be marked with a Class Identification Label from January 1st, 2024. The new regulation aims to improve safety and security in the airspace and enable authorities to identify the drone and its operator easily.
