Mr Kornl Szepessy CEO RPAS use and regulation

~ Mr. Kornél Szepessy CEO RPAS use and regulation of civil Air Traffic Control point of view Acceptable and reasonable rules are needed 3 -4 th of November 2015 Budapest

Risks The following safety risks must be addressed Mid-air collision with manned aircraft Harm to people Damage to property The level of risk depends on: § the energy and the complexity of the drone (kinetic and potential energy) § the population density of the overflown area § the design of the airspace and density of traffic. 2

Status: awareness of hobby drone pilots Awareness of hobby drone pilots is far behind the professional drone pilots. Aviation awareness of hobby drone pilots is very low Do not see themselves as part of aviation For many people the drone is an extended selfie bot. 3

Status: discussions on drones Discussions on drones are in a brainstorming phase Discussions are not structured Benchmark analysis would help EU - no regulation yet EU Member States – individual, separate ways FAA (USA) - far ahead of Europe 4

Technological development § The drones must be visible § Many years of research will be needed regarding drones § Final regulation depends on technological solution Final regulation need years FL 100 500 ft ? ? ? 5

EASA regulation is after consultation phase According to EASA A-NPA 2015 -10, three categories will be established for the operation of drones 1 ‘Open’ category (low risk) <25 kg 2 ‘Specific category’ (medium risk) >25 kg 3 ‘Certified’ category (higher risk) The kinetic energy and the speed of the drones is missing from EASA draft. 6

Hungarian situation No regulation for operation at the moment (expected this year) No guidance for drone pilots where to fly Lack of education Easy to buy devices without any permission Administration is a very complex and long (30 days) procedure N O I T A C I L P SEGREGATED AREA AP Hobby drone pilots will fly in the interesting but dangerous areas 7

Manned aircraft need protection The Control Tower Region (CTR) covers 2/3 of Budapest There approximately 1 million residents in CTR area. Potentially thousands of drones We need instant regulation 8

First flight safety issue 2015. 06. 18: 03 UTC LOT 531 reported drone on final at Liszt Ferenc International Airport…(illustration) 9

Need of immediate regulation 1 Operation of drones should be allowed where it is not dangerous 2 Communication platform between participants must be established Regulation 10

Proposal I: Obstacle Shadow Operations § Designate areas where drones can fly § To avoid using the dangerous areas § Even in CTR Highest Obstacle Height Operating below highest obstacle height which obstacle is within 100 m radius from the operator Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) R<100 m 11

Proposal II: Reporting Operations Association for drone pilots is necessary. ATS UNIT OPERATOR www. dronhive. com Communication platform: sharing information in multiple direction Basic training for the operators Real time data of the operations GO/NO GO answer for the operator OTHER OPERATORS Situational Awareness 12
