Doing this will increase the robustness of the overall analysis, with respect
to ADS-B.
3.27 The CAA should be directing UAS to use 978MHz immediately, to minimise
frequency congestion on 1090MHz (whilst noting that some large military drones
may still equip with 1090MHz).
3.28 A wide range of scenarios have been developed for this study, providing a good
level of confidence in the results.

There is no impact anticipated
on airspace users classed as General Aviation (GA), such as private light aircraft, sport aviation, parachuting,
ballooning, airships, helicopter operations, gliding, hang-gliding, para-gliding and UAV/model aircraft flying.
2.3 This proposal is linked to and has been coordinated with, proposals for changes to the arrival and
departure routes at Edinburgh and Prestwick Airports.

If special use airspace is required to mitigate any identified risks, then this must be
compliant with SARG Policy 133: Policy for the Establishment and Operation of
Special Use Airspace (SUA).

▪ Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) - A new package of International
UAS regulations was published by the European Union earlier in 2019
and Regulation (EU) 2019/947 Implementing Regulation (IR) is planned to
become applicable on 1 July 2020.

The SCXAs are already approved for Beyond Visual Line of Sight
(BVLOS) UAS activity operating from RN ships, and this application looks to link
this with a land element to enhance wider training opportunities to ships which do
not have their own UAS, and provide a facility to train UAS operators.

and supporting regulations
▪ to introduce sustainability as an overarching principle to be applied
through all modernisation activities, taking account of the latest
government policy and environmental guidance, including better managing
noise and helping achieve government commitments to net zero
emissions
▪ to meet the UK’s international obligations, aligning delivery of the AMS
with the ICAO3 Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) and ensuring
interoperability of the UK network with neighbouring air traffic
management areas, including providing a clear strategic path for
rulemaking activities, now that the UK has left the EU and the European
Aviation Safety Agency
all without undermining the initiatives from the 2018 AMS, delivery of which will
continue, and which are subsumed into the refreshed AMS.

These areas can be considered as information airspace and are sometimes
described in the UK AIP and other AIS documents.
3.3 Airspace structures can also be used to restrict or prohibit the flight of UAS in specific
areas, such as flight restriction zones (FRZ) or UAS Geographical Zones.
