Meeting Minutes 6 November 2024 (PDF)

The Panel noted that there will be a shift in where public annoyance and health impacts occur as the noise footprint changes, especially as drones and other forms of urban air mobility become more prevalent. 7.

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.

Joint Statement from CAA/DfT on the Development of a National Standard for Electronic Conspicuity

This work was conducted in three phases by Egis, an independent aviation consultancy firm: Phase 1 recommended an approach utilising existing global standards (operating on 1090 MHz for piloted aircraft and 978 Mhz for unpiloted aircraft (UAS) respectively), focussing on voluntary uptake where possible, and mandatory carriage only where necessary.

Mid air collision

Our Safety Plan

In 2017 the UK Airprox Board (UKAB) assessed 272 Airprox, of which 159 were aircraft-to-aircraft encounters and 113 involved incidents with small unmanned air systems (SUAS) comprising 93 drones, 1 model aircraft, 6 balloons, and 13 unknown objects.

The technological advances that are making UAV operations feasible may help to provide the spur to develop such technology further and developments based on existing technologies are beginning to emerge. 8.24 Systems such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) transmit the position of the aircraft and velocity vector to other aircraft in the vicinity and any ground-based receiver.

Operational volume, ground risk buffer and adjacent area

What to include in your application

There's more information on calculating your ground risk buffer in JARUS guidelines on SORA, Annex A, Guidelines on collecting and presenting system and operation information for a specific UAS operation (opens in a new tab).

Report an accident or serious incident

How to report an aircraft accident or incident.

This is inclusive of all accidents reportable to the CAA and AAIB including drone accidents: Article 13 Where the accident or serious incident occurred in the United Kingdom, the safety investigation authority shall be responsible for ensuring safe treatment of all evidence and for taking all reasonable measures to protect such evidence and for maintaining safe custody of the aircraft, its contents and its wreckage for such period as may be necessary for the purpose of a safety investigation.
