Existing regulations for drones: Until recently drone that were sold to consumers were not regulated (Pomerleau, 2015). What that means is that the FAA had not released any information on how the use of a drone, by a member of the general public could be used, what the general public shouldn’t be used for, and also what the punishments would be should a consumer choose not to follow regulations (Pomerleau, 2015). As of February 2015, the FAA has release some oversight guidelines on how…

Civil Air Patrol The Civil Air Patrol or more formally known as CAP is a part of the Air Force and CAP is a program for 12 to 17 year old and CAP is also a volunteer service and is a very fun, rewarding, and pride program. There is many other extra programs to attend to such as Color Guard, Honor Guard, and other extra programs called NCOS and those are for if you want to fly anywhere across the U.S. and attend a week long course for what you picked and there are many varieties of courses like…

challenging if one has not studied for it and impossible one is not familiar with aeronautical knowledge like weather sources and official radio communication procedures that even commercial drone pilots will be required to use in order to call air traffic control…

Global Hawk System Safety UAVs are a rapidly growing part of the aerospace world. Though they have mainly been utilized in military functions, the continued development of UAVs is leading toward civilian application in addition to continued military use. The use of UAVs in commercial environments brings with it a new set of safety risks which must be investigated, analyzed, and mitigated in order to ensure safe operation in the national airspace system (NAS). (Lum & Waggoner, 2011.) This paper…

The Department of Transportation was established in October of 1966. The reason for its adoption was to ensure the safety of every American whilst traveling. DOT states on their federal website that their mission is to, “[s]erve the United States by ensuring a fast, safe, efficient, accessible and convenient transportation system that meets our vital national interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people, today and into the future”. However, many, if not all Americans, can…

1. INTRODUCTION Airspace constraints and controller workload are foremost among the factors limiting the airspace capacity. Controller workload is the physical and mental work that the controllers are supposed to undertake so that air traffic can be managed safely [1]. Airspace can be divided into subdivisions to provide more efficient air traffic services and to reduce the effect of the controller workload on Air Traffic Management capacity. This process is called the sectorization [2]. ATS…

airspace classes and associated air traffic services Air services Australia and the Department of Defence provide those air traffic services. The Office of Airspace Regulation (OAR) also provides a regulatory function for the published air routes. The airspace branch is referred to as the Office of Airspace Regulation…

indicate the airport diagram (left) and the airspace depicted by a sectional chart (right) of Eglin Air Force Base. An airport diagram shows all valuable information of an airport so pilots can navigate properly, and know quick information about an airfield. The sectional chart depicts valuable information such as airspace, obstructions, and terrain to help pilots navigate. The airport diagram for Eglin Air Force base is pretty generic in style. The airport has two medium to long length runways…

1a) Air Traffic Control radar surveillance system Air traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-based controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and in the air. The purpose of ATC systems worldwide is to separate aircraft to prevent collisions, to organize and expedite the flow of traffic, and to provide information and other support for pilots when able. b) The operating principles of ATC radar survelliance system Primary Radar Principle: The primary radar unit has a major…
