Electronic Conspicuity – DfT are now discussing what the options for a strategy might look like with the CAA.
Last updated: 27 January 2022
Seeing UA integrated within standard classifications of
UK airspace, permitting them to operate BVLOS without the need for additional
requirements to be placed upon them to address their specific operating
characteristics20.
20 Albeit it is considered that data from electronic conspicuity systems will be essential to enable the
functionality of detect-and-avoid (DAA) systems onboard UA.

Electronic Conspicuity (EC) Update: CAA provided an overview on the Electronic
Conspicuity work to date, including a roadmap on proposed next steps.

Airspace Update
MS gave a briefing on key developments:
▪ Airspace Change Processes (ACPs)
▪ Performance-Based Navigation
▪ Mid-Air Collision Working Group
▪ Electronic conspicuity

The group set the scene for the sector and highlighted the new and existing
challenges it was facing, including the macro landscape of Covid and the EU-exit
which could bring opportunities for the General and Business Aviation
communities, and the more specific issues affecting the community, such as new
technologies, electronic conspicuity and pilot training.

Richard Moriarty added that ensuring flight beyond the line of sight was still a labour-
intensive process, so the key would be to develop common electronic conspicuity
standards to allow more operators in the air.

theoretical risk
approach
Ensure all regulatory/de-
regulatory/ delegation changes
are made using a ‘balance of
risk’ approach
- Examples of projects where a ‘balance of risk’
approach has been taken and policy changed
(e.g. conducting Hazard Identification workshops)
- Number of projects where the GA Policy
framework results in a change in policy
Safety levels No reduction in 3rd party
safety as a result of reduced
regulation
- Number of 3rd party accidents & incidents
- Reduce the accident rate through safety
promotion and education working in partnership
with the GA Community
Significantly reduce the
number of infringements of
controlled and regulated
airspace
50% reduction (over a 2 year
period) in the number of high
risk airspace infringements
from the end of 2013 to the
end of 2015
- Number of infringements
- Greater awareness through the safety
awareness project
Minimise the safety risk that
is generated as a direct
consequence of airspace
infringements

Electronic Conspicuity developments
A discussion was raised regarding the potential use of 978MHz for electronic conspicuity
systems.
Last updated: 17 November 2021
Additionally, concern was raised regarding possible new
restrictions and the cost of fitting new required equipment (e.g., an approved
Electronic Conspicuity (EC) device), and whether this cost should be borne by
the new entrants.
4.3 CAA Response: When reviewing any proposed BVLOS UAS operations the
CAA will always consider all air users.
Last updated: 19 June 2025
These developments can be seen
in the wider context of the CAA’s ongoing work to expedite the widespread adoption of
electronic conspicuity utilising ADS-B across the aviation sector.
2.3 The information from ATS surveillance systems can be used to improve the situational
awareness of controllers and FISOs and assist in mitigating the risks of mid-air
collision, airspace infringement and controlled flight into terrain.
2.4 Combined, this work has resulted in amendments to Air Traffic Services Safety
Requirements (CAP 670) and Aerodrome FISO Licensing (CAP 1032) alongside the
amendments to CAP 797 and CAP 493 and now in CAP 413.
