Linked to this, operators of remote piloted aircraft systems
(RPAS), including drones, have been able to launch flights that go
beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS); including some flights used
to carry medical supplies to reach islands off the UK mainland during
the pandemic.

Problem statement
UAM operations flying in close proximity to other low flying traffic
(such as remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) operations and
helicopters) may increase the inherent risk of mid-air collision and
other accidents induced by loss of control or taking avoiding action.

Background to the UKADS.
Why the UKADS is needed It has become clear that the challenges of today’s airspace change model risk the delivery of much-needed modernisation: the complex nature of UK airspace, particularly in the London area neighbouring airports, each having their own requirements, proposing and funding individual airspace change proposals where the airspace designs are interdependent dispersed and scarce expertise in the industry sometimes leading to inconsistent standards and variable quality in airspace change proposal submissions increasing demand from new or developing types of airspace user (such as drones, aerial taxis, high-altitude platforms, space launch) to have routine access to an integrated airspace for all users, but no obvious sponsor to take forward or fund any changes to the airspace design needed to accommodate them.

Building upon any work achieved under the AMS to date, the sessions will
also provide a platform not only for the existing airspace users and their
changing priorities following the COVID-19 pandemic but also for the
communities, new airspace users/entrants, such as Remotely Piloted
Aircraft Systems (RPAS), other users from within the Innovation sector and
Space.

In relation to
drones, the term UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) can also be used, to
describe a UAV plus all the elements to control it (e.g., remote control,
communication system etc)

For drones and AES, it was thought the noise contours may not work and eVTOL
drones are not mentioned.
