Our preliminary view – subject to consultation
NATS OpenAir will provide ‘wholesale’ services
to multiple ANSPs, which in turn provide ‘retail’
services to new users
NATS OpenAir will not, in the main, provide air
traffic services directly to new airspace users
We do not propose to manage any more
airspace than we already do – this is about
providing a universal data sharing and network
management function

Drone policy should be retained as a core requirement, but our position would be that all other
new technology should be designated as a wider requirement, as there is as an element of choice
in moving to new technologies and consideration of this will be embedded in the ongoing
management of RP3 through the service and investment plan (SIP) process.

We worked with the CAA SLT to identify priority sustainability issues and
prepare input where the CAA SLT had a specific strategic interest in developing their
understanding, including the impact of different forms of noise (e.g. drones vs road noise)
and potential engineering routes for SAF.

Companies involved in
the sandbox development phase of this project include Volocopter passenger
drones and innovation foundation NESTA’s work to prototype the use of drones
in cities.

Airspace
Electronic Conspicuity (EC):
The CAA sees electronic Conspicuity (EC) as a key enabler for many of the future airspace and operational
changes needed to deliver airspace modernisation in the UK, integrate new users such as commercial
drones, and enable increased airspace sharing among all users while providing significant safety
enhancements.

This was well received by members,
who had previously voiced concerns that having eVTOL risks dealt with by their UAS
department might not have led to a full understanding of the very different risks associated with
crewed and passenger carrying aviation.

For example,
o questioning the assumptions behind their projection of environmental benefits;
o seeking to understand how industry and innovators consider environmental
sustainability; and
o providing consistent definitions of sustainability terms;
• suggested the CAA could then look to the standards setting process– CAA could use leadership
and influencing role to develop work around what environmental standards could be;
• suggested CAA needs to build its own in-house capability to be able to carry out its own due
diligence on the environmental claims, including connecting with academia in this area to
build knowledge and confidence to push the boundaries;
• noted that a lot of the UAS technology is based on electric technology but some are starting
to use hydrogen cells.
