Full Description
The increasing civilian use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) is not yet associated with a comprehensive regulatory framework, however new rules are rapidly emerging which aim to address this shortfall. This insightful book offers a thorough examination of the most up-to-date developments, and considers potential ways to address the various concerns surrounding the use of UASs in relation to safety, security, privacy and liability.Summarising the technical aspects of non-military drones in an accessible manner, Anna Masutti and Filippo Tomasello illustrate why UASs have led to an inevitable shift in aviation safety - from 'aircraft centric' to 'operation centric' policies. They explain the three 'categories' of operation of civil drones promoted by JARUS and EASA and offer a thorough exploration of the new ICAO Remote Pilot Licence, which will enter into force in 2022.
As well as appealing to scholars of aviation regulation and regulatory law more widely, this book will also prove an indispensable resource for aviation policy makers, managers, inspectors and jurists seeking clear information and references.
