Abstract

IFALPA strives to protect and enhance aviation safety by the highest standards and to promote a single level of safety worldwide for all users of civilian airspace. This is especially important when introducing a new technology sector into civilian airspace such as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

IFALPA welcomes and recognizes the potential benefits of this new technology. It is critically important to ensure the safe integration of UAS into the common civilian airspace.
