REGULATION
Today we are witnessing a rapidly growing demand of the UAS industry to promote integration solutions and suitable regulation for the safe and efficient operation of unmanned aircraft in the state airspace.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) stated that during the years 2016-2018, states may expect the official standards and recommended practices (SARP), along with the relevant procedures for air navigation regarding UAS integration with ATM, sense-and-avoid technology requirements, airworthiness and personal licensing.
During the years 2020-2023, ICAO plans to develop and publish the standards and recommendations for aerodrome operations, whereas the entire package of regulation designed for the full integration of unmanned aircraft with the civil aviation (regulation that will be the basis of UAS operations in any class of airspace) is intended to be published only by the year 2028.
In the meanwhile the demand of the UAS industry in certain states, as well as progressive approach of some regulators that identify the rapidly developing trend of UAS para-military and civilian uses, has led several Civil Aviation Authorities to publish general regulatory framework and guidance material, for several specific aspects of the operation of UAS in the state's airspace.
In this part of our website (still under construction) we will list and elaborate these publications.
Personnel Licensing
UAVs, also known as RPAs are remotely piloted. Piloting an aircraft from the ground may sometimes prove to be more challenging than piloting one in the air. Although many of the risks for the pilot are eliminated, the aircraft may still be a safety concern for other aircraft in the sky. Therefore, UAV operators or RPA pilots are subject to screening, testing and evaluation, both mental and physical.
So, what is required of a remote pilot? We are certified RPA pilots. We have the answer. With our knowledge of personnel licensing we can show you ropes of pilot certification, make the process all your own with tips of improvement and tailor made solutions for your individual needs.

UAS market growth
Unmanned Aerial vehicles are taking flight all around the world. UAS now number in the hundreds. UAS technology once reserved for the armies of the most advanced nations are being built in back yards of private home owners. The uses of UAS are unlimited and they are rapidly taking over civilian airspace, no longer confined to military use. UAVs now fly faster and longer and at any altitude, between buildings and over continents. Manufactures, as well as countries aiming to increase the development and us of UAVs are looking for regulation solutions. In some cases, the lack of such regulation may inhibit development that may cost millions. In other cases, unfit regulation may lead to poor flight safety and poor aviation ratings.
