EUROCAE Open Consultation ED-253

We are pleased to announce the availability of the following draft EUROCAE document prepared by EUROCAE WG-105 SG-53 “ERA – Automation and Emergency Recovery” for Open Consultation:

Draft ED-253 “Operational Services and Environment Definition (OSED) for Automation and Emergency Recovery”

Operational Services and Environment Definition (OSED) for RPAS Automation & Emergency Recovery functions. This OSED provides a basis for assessing and establishing operational, safety, performance, and interoperability requirements for the A&ER capabilities for an Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) flying in non-segregated airspace. This document seeks to characterize those differentiated attributes of RPAS and define their relationship to air traffic services, other airspace participants, and operating environments of the defined airspace. This OSED captures high level requirements that have been derived and/or validated as being necessary for the automation and emergency recovery capabilities.
The document as well as the forms are posted on the EUROCAE workspace.

You are invited to review the proposed draft and complete the comment form. Early replies are encouraged.

All comments must be submitted by 1/3/2019 12:00:00 AM.
