Airspace Classification System Unmanned Aviation Services Resource Group Limited | Registered in England No: 02667200 | www. resourcegroup. co. uk expert solutions, adding value
Airspace Classification System • Various Classes of airspace are allocated in the UK – Grades A to G. • Classes A, C & D require an air traffic control clearance to enter the airspace and receipt of an air traffic service is mandatory. • Classes, E and F, are not widely used in the UK and no UK airspace is currently designated as Class B. • Class G is uncontrolled in that any aircraft may use the airspace under The Rules of the Air and although an air traffic service may be available it is not mandated. • Large portions of Class G airspace below 19, 500 ft are used extensively by Military and General Aviation. Unmanned Aviation Services Resource Group Limited | Registered in England No: 02667200 | www. resourcegroup. co. uk expert solutions, adding value
Airspace Classification System • The UK airspace structure needs to evolve and change to meet increasing demand on capacity whilst meeting some key principles: • Maintaining the highest standards of safety. • Reducing the impact to people on the ground. • Reducing the impact on the environment. • Accommodating the diverse (sometimes conflicting) requirements of different airspace user groups, to the greatest extent possible. Unmanned Aviation Services Resource Group Limited | Registered in England No: 02667200 | www. resourcegroup. co. uk expert solutions, adding value
Controlled Airspace (Classes A – E) • Is airspace of defined dimensions within which ATC services are provided. • The level of control varies with the different classes of airspace. • Controlled airspace usually imposes higher weather minimums than are applicable in uncontrolled airspace. • Controlled airspace is established mainly for three different reasons: • High-volume air traffic areas, e. g. near airports. • Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) traffic under Air Traffic Control (ATC) guidance. • security, e. g. ADIZ (Air Defence Identification Zone). Unmanned Aviation Services Resource Group Limited | Registered in England No: 02667200 | www. resourcegroup. co. uk expert solutions, adding value
Controlled Airspace (Classes A – E) • Controlled airspace usually exists in the immediate vicinity of busier airports. • Where aircraft used in commercial air transport flights are climbing out from or making an approach to the airport; or • At higher levels where air transport flights would tend to cruise. Unmanned Aviation Services Resource Group Limited | Registered in England No: 02667200 | www. resourcegroup. co. uk expert solutions, adding value
Controlled Airspace (Classes A – E) • What does Controlled Airspace mean to you as a RPAS operator? • UAS operations is expected to be transparent to ATS providers. • You must gain permission to enter by the ATC. • The UAS-c will be required to respond to ATS guidance or requests for information. • Must comply with any ATC instruction in the same way; and • Within the same time frame that the pilot of a manned aircraft • Must have an RT licence. • UAS operators intending to use RT must ensure that they hold a Flight Radio Telephony Operators’ Licence (FRTOL) valid for the privileges intended to be exercised. Unmanned Aviation Services Resource Group Limited | Registered in England No: 02667200 | www. resourcegroup. co. uk expert solutions, adding value
Uncontrolled Airspace (Classes F & G) • Is airspace where an ATC service is not deemed necessary or cannot be provided for practical reasons. • ATC does not exercise any executive authority in uncontrolled airspace; but • May provide basic information services to aircraft in radio contact. • Flight in uncontrolled airspace will typically be under VFR. • Used extensively by Military and General Aviation. Unmanned Aviation Services Resource Group Limited | Registered in England No: 02667200 | www. resourcegroup. co. uk expert solutions, adding value
Uncontrolled Airspace (Classes F & G) • What does Uncontrolled Airspace mean to you as a RPAS operator? • Identify any Air Traffic Zones (ATZ), Military Air Traffic Zones (MATZ) and liaise with their Air Traffic Service Unit with your intentions. • Identify other Air User locations – Microlight Flying Sites, Gliding Launching Sites, Hang/Para Gliding Sites and Free-Fall Parachute Drop Zones. • Identify any Restricted Areas, Prohibited Areas, Danger Areas, Bird Sanctuaries to avoid. • Maintain a constant visual observation of your operating area for any air incursions when live flying.

Stage Confirmation Qu 1: What is an Flight Information Region? Ans: In aviation a flight information region (FIR) is a region of airspace with specific dimensions, in which a flight information service and an alerting service are provided. It is the largest regular division of airspace in use in the world today. Any portion of the atmosphere belongs to some specific FIR. Smaller countries' airspace is encompassed by a single FIR, larger countries' airspace is subdivided into a number of regional FIRs.

UAS Restrictions Factors: Effect: Airspace segregation ensures separation of the UAS operation from other airspace users and the third parties. Risk of collision, Airprox or separation infringement is Airspace Segregation eliminated, except in the case of incursion by other airspace users into segregated airspace, or uncommanded excursion by the UA. Visual Line-of-Sight Low Aircraft Mass Operation within the unaided direct line-of-sight of the UAS operator (accepted as within 500 m horizontally and at a height not exceeding 400 ft vertically above the surface) permits the UAS operator to respond to and avoid other airspace users. Aircraft mass below a specified limit reduces risk to other airspace users and third parties by reducing maximum kinetic energy damage potential below a significant level. This mass limit is determined by CAA Airworthiness Division.
