UK Regulator Sets Out Vision For Safe Drone Integration
The UK Civil Aviation Authority has published its Airspace Architecture Concept of Operations, outlining its vision for the safe integration of drones into UK airspace. The CONOPS sets out a three-stage timeline for introducing more complex beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations, with the goal of enabling routine drone operations while maintaining safety for all airspace users. According to the UK CAA, this development is part of its Airspace Modernisation Strategy and Future of Flight programme, and builds on the recently published BVLOS Roadmap, as reported by Unmanned Airspace.
