The UK’s British Standards Institute has published PAS 1905:2024, providing UK drone and eVTOL operators, manufacturers, supply chain partners and infrastructure suppliers “with guidance on key aviation regulatory principles, management systems and assurance system frameworks that underpin the aviation product life cycle, support safe routine operations within the shared airspace, and which are essential for successful scaling and industrialization.”
As well as providing an overview of the aviation systems, the PAS “provides signposts to existing regulations and standards, highlighting the core information applicable to the wide range of emerging types of aircraft and their systems as covered within the scope of the Future Flight Challenge, including unmanned/uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) and advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft.”
“This PAS provides practical guidance and, where practicable, basic examples, including appropriate, generic use cases…. This PAS is of use to new entrants who are developing, deploying, operating or supporting future flight systems, including supply chain partners, as well as existing organizations considering to scale within the sector. It might also be of interest to wider stakeholder communities, including investment and insurance organizations looking to assess risk management aspects, local authorities and business opportunity planners, as well as communities across society that have concerns and an interest in how these new aviation sectors are regulated.”
