Let’s each respond to the CAA’s consultation by April 2.

ARPAS-UK supports the introduction of the Atypical Air Environment policy, as an incremental step to facilitate BVLOS operations in lower risk environment, where no another aircraft is expected to be, for example just above assets that are inspected. These will already unlock a lot of economic value, and help the industry accumulate experience and flying hours in BVLOS.

We will respond to the consultation as an organisation. If you would like to get involved in our response, do let us know by emailing us at membership@arpas.uk, and join either or both REG SIG and/or BVLOS SIG.

To understand the proposed policy, you may want to listen to the podcast by Callum Holland from the CAA’s Future Safety and Innovation Team. Then please respond to the consultation as well by April 2. Compared to other consultations, it is pretty straight forward.
