![]() A command and control system - sometimes called a communication, command and control system - that includes data links and other system elements (e.g., instruments and transponders on satellites and/or terrestrial cable networks) that connect the remote pilot station(s) to the RPA.īelow are links to other glossaries and explanations of terms related to RPAS:.Human-operated remote pilot station(s) usually located on the ground or on a ship, but which may be aboard another airborne platform.In practical terms, a small RPAS can be visualized as having these configurable elements and characteristics: Unmanned aircraft system - ICAO defines this term in ICAO Cir 328 as “An aircraft and its associated elements, which are operated with no pilot on board.”.They can be remotely and fully controlled from another place (ground, another aircraft, space) or pre-programmed to conduct its flight without intervention.” Unmanned aircraft (UA) - ICAO explains this term on The ICAO UAS Toolkit website as “Any aircraft intended to be flown without a pilot on board is an unmanned aircraft.Remotely-piloted aircraft system (RPAS) - ICAO defines this term in ICAO Cir 328 as “A set of configurable elements consisting of a remotely-piloted aircraft, its associated remote pilot station(s), the required command and control links and any other system elements as may be required, at any point during flight operation.”. ![]() ![]() (Note: This is a subcategory of unmanned aircraft.)” Remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) - ICAO defines this term in ICAO Cir 328, Unmanned Aircraft Systems, as “An aircraft where the flying pilot is not on board the aircraft.real-time piloting control is provided by a licensed remote pilot.”.expected to be integrated into the air traffic management system equally as manned aircraft.Remotely piloted aircraft (RPA)- ICAO explains this term in Annex 2, Rules of the Air, as: “An unmanned aircraft which is piloted from a remote pilot station:.… This is challenging for sUAS operations due to insufficient mishap (accident and incident) reporting for sUAS and the rapid growth of new sUAS applications (or use cases) that have not yet been implemented.” Definitions research team said in 2017: “Associated with the proliferation of civil applications for sUAS is a paradigm shift from single-UAS visual operations in restricted airspace to multi-UAS beyond visual line of sight operations with increasing use of autonomous systems and operations under increasing levels of urban development and airspace usage. One “snapshot” of such priorities by a U.S. Priorities change over time among these stakeholders. Therefore, improving safety performance of larger RPAS temporarily may receive lower priority among these stakeholders. ![]() Their mature level of integration into controlled, uncontrolled and restricted airspace at any altitude means that accidents involving large RPAs rarely affect national airspace systems. In contrast, the larger RPASs - whether operated by/for government research, military/intelligence or corporate missions - share similar histories, levels of advancement and strong track records in safety. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)) air navigation service providers ( ANSPs, including EUROCONTROL) airlines RPAS manufacturers and suppliers and small RPAS operators. The stakeholders primarily comprise the world’s national aviation authorities (NAAs, including the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the U.S. Most of the information in SKYbrary pertains to small RPAS because many civilian aviation industry stakeholders are involved in the integration of small RPAS or drones - unlike larger RPAS - into national airspace systems any may have some responsibility for addressing small-RPAS operational safety issues likely to impact manned aviation. The term drone serves as an informal, popular and generic substitute for an RPA or a UA. This article introduces several enhancements to SKYbrary’s compilation of articles and source references that primarily discuss remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPA/RPAS), a subset of the broader term unmanned aircraft system (UA/UAS) favored by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
