Jim Williams Manager of the UASIO FAA Expo 2014 sUAS News
Jim Williams of the FAA presented on integrating civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace at the 2014 sUSB Expo. He discussed several incidents involving unauthorized UAS flights and the associated risks to safety. He outlined ASTM standards for small UAS and provided an update on the FAA's efforts to develop regulations for commercial UAS use, including the Section 333 process of determining what types of UAS can operate safely before rulemaking is complete. The presentation aimed to discuss risks and the FAA's ongoing work to safely integrate UAS into the NAS.
This document provides permission from the Civil Aviation Authority for Colin Aldred Trading As Aerial Artwork to operate small unmanned aircraft for commercial operations within 150 meters of congested areas. The permission is granted subject to several conditions, including that the aircraft are flown by those with the appropriate remote pilot competency, maintained within direct line of sight of the remote pilot, and not flown above 400 feet or within restricted airspace without permission. Flights must also be conducted according to the operator's approved operations manual and records of flights maintained.
This document provides procedures and rules for aircraft conducting weapons training at the Koon-ni Weapons Range. It outlines check-in procedures with the Range Control Officer (RCO) when entering the range airspace and protocols for the range patterns, minimum altitudes, abort criteria, radio calls, and ordnance safety. Specific rules address issues like chaff/flare expenditure, fouls, communications, and operations within the Special Use Airspace (SUA) of the Koon-ni Range Complex while conducting concurrent operations with other aircraft.
This document discusses skydiving operations in Australia and potential conflicts with other aircraft. It provides the following key points:
1) Skydiving participation is growing rapidly in Australia with over 70,000 first jumps per year. This increases the risk of conflicts with other aircraft.
2) Potential conflicts can occur with regular public transport flights, private aircraft, and at fly-ins or airshows where skydiving is occurring. Proper communication on radios and awareness of planned operations can reduce these risks.
3) Skydiving drop zones may not be marked on all charts. Pilots should listen for radio calls regarding jumps and be aware of the parachute operations symbol on charts near drop zones.
This document provides definitions and procedures for visual approaches, contact approaches, and circling to land from an instrument approach. It defines a visual approach as approaching visually and clearing clouds to land at an airport. A contact approach allows proceeding visually to the destination airport when clear of clouds with at least 1 mile visibility. Circling to land brings an aircraft into position to land on a runway not aligned with the instrument approach. It provides circling area dimensions and procedures to maintain visual contact with the runway environment while circling to land.
Air traffic controllers apply separation rules to keep aircraft a minimum distance apart to reduce collision risks. Separation depends on factors like aircraft size, flight rules, and airspace class. In controlled airspace, controllers use radar, procedural, lateral, and longitudinal separation to ensure aircraft distances meet minimum standards. A conflict occurs when these separation minima are violated, threatening aircraft safety. Controllers aim to prevent conflicts through continuous monitoring and resolution of aircraft positions.
1) Several general aviation accidents occur each year due to pilots encountering reduced visibility conditions and experiencing spatial disorientation or controlled flight into terrain. Even in clear weather, night flights over areas with limited lighting provide few visual references that can be disorienting.
2) Three accident summaries are described where pilots crashed after experiencing spatial disorientation in low visibility conditions. The accidents involved a pilot who flew too low through a mountain pass, a pilot who deviated from his flight path and altitude in instrument conditions, and a pilot who crashed while maneuvering in dark night conditions with limited visual references.
3) Pilots are encouraged to obtain weather briefings, refuse external pressures that could influence dangerous decisions, seek training on aircraft
The document discusses regulations for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in the United States and Canada. It defines UAS and outlines the main components. In the US, the FAA issues certificates for UAS operated as civil or public aircraft, while in Canada special flight operation certificates are required. Both countries require visual line-of-sight operation and do not allow commercial use without approval. The roles of the pilot-in-command and observer are described. Canada additionally requires detect and sense-and-avoid capability for beyond visual line-of-sight flights.

3. Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) are used to communicate essential information about airport conditions or temporary changes and are issued according to standard formats and procedures.
The document discusses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and radio-controlled aircraft (RCA). It defines UAVs as aircraft that can operate autonomously or via remote control, while RCA require constant manual control. A key difference is that UAVs perform practical missions while RCA are for recreation. The document also covers classifications of UAVs by range/altitude and functions including reconnaissance, research, and combat. It provides a brief history of UAV development from the U.S. Civil War to modern systems like the Predator and Global Hawk drones.
1. Airworthiness refers to the legal and physical state of an aircraft to safely operate. An airworthy aircraft conforms to its approved design and is in a condition for safe operation.
2. Responsibility for airworthiness is shared between the pilot, owner/operator, and maintenance personnel. The pilot is ultimately responsible for determining if an aircraft is airworthy before each flight.
3. Aircraft must have a valid airworthiness certificate and undergo regular inspections and maintenance to remain airworthy. Repairs must be properly documented in the maintenance logs.

Chapter 7. ESCORT OF HIJACKED AIRCRAFT
Section 1. GENERAL
7-1-1. PURPOSE
The FAA hijack coordinator (the Director or his designate of the FAA Office of Civil Aviation Security) on duty at Washington
headquarters will request the military to provide an escort aircraft for a confirmed hijacked aircraft to:
2. a. Assure positive flight following.
b. Report unusual observances.
c. Aid search and rescue in the event of an emergency.
7-1-2. REQUESTS FOR SERVICE
The escort service will be requested by the FAA hijack coordinator by direct contact with the National Military Command Center
(NMCC). Normally, NORAD escort aircraft will take the required action. However, for the purpose of these procedures, the term
"escort aircraft" applies to any military aircraft assigned to the escort mission. When the military can provide escort aircraft, the
NMCC will advise the FAA hijack coordinator the identification and location of the squadron tasked to provide escort aircraft.
NMCC will then authorize direct coordination between FAA and the designated military unit. When a NORAD resource is tasked,
FAA will coordinate through the appropriate SOCC/ROCC.
7-1-3. HANDLING PRIORITY
When the situation requires an expedited departure of the escort aircraft, the aircraft shall be afforded priority consideration
over other departing aircraft.
7-1-4. CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR U.S. AIRSPACE
a. When hijacked aircraft is within FAA radar coverage, escort aircraft shall be controlled by the appropriate FAA facility.
b. When a hijacked aircraft is not within FAA radar coverage but within military radar coverage, escort aircraft may be controlled
by the military for the escort phase only.
c. When escort aircraft are under military control, separation between the escort aircraft/hijacked aircraft and other IFR traffic is
the responsibility of the FAA. Separation shall be provided through the application of appropriate altitude reservations as
required.
d. When escort aircraft is under FAA control, standard air traffic control separation shall be applied. In no case shall any
clearance or instruction to the aircraft compromise ATC standards.
e. When tanker aircraft are employed, the designated tankers and escort aircraft shall be under FAA control, and appropriate
aerial refueling procedures shall apply.
7-1-5. CONTROL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR CANADIAN AIRSPACE
Escort aircraft entering Canadian airspace from the U.S. shall be transferred to NORAD control
in accordance with FAA/NORAD procedures prior to the aircraft entering Canadian airspace. Escort aircraft entering U.S.
airspace from Canada will be transferred from NORAD control in the same manner when transfer of control is effected. When
the hijacked aircraft is not within the coverage of the NORAD surveillance system in Canada, the escort mission will be
discontinued.
7-1-6. AIR/GROUND COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY
Except when specifically directed otherwise by FAA headquarters, every precaution shall be taken to prevent the hijacker/s from
gaining knowledge that an escort is being conducted. When communicating with escort aircraft, ensure that transmissions are
made on a different frequency from the one being used to communicate with the hijacked aircraft and are not simultaneously
broadcast on a frequency which can be overheard by the hijacked aircraft.
7-1-7. WEATHER/FLIGHT SAFETY LIMITATIONS
3. If weather conditions or other flight safety factors make the escort mission impractical, the mission shall be terminated by the
controller or the pilot, and the FAA headquarters hijack coordinator shall be advised immediately. The pilot of the escort
aircraft will keep the controller advised of adverse weather or any other hazardous conditions. The pilot will immediately
terminate the mission if radio contact with the control facility is lost, maintaining the last assigned altitude and/or radio failure
procedures unless the pilot has received specific instructions to the contrary.
Section 2. ESCORT PROCEDURES
7-2-1. FACILITY NOTIFICATION
The FAA hijack coordinator will advise the appropriate center/control tower of the identification of the military unit and location
tasked to provide the hijack escort. The center/control tower shall coordinate with the designated NORAD SOCC/ROCC/military
unit advising of the hijack aircraft's location, direction of flight, altitude, type aircraft and recommended flight plan to intercept
the hijack aircraft. The center/control tower shall file the coordinated flight plan.
7-2-2. PILOT NOTIFICATION
a. The control tower, on initial contact with the aircraft, shall inform the pilot of the nature of the mission.
EXAMPLE-
"Red dog five, this is a hijack escort mission."
b. If the aircraft is an air defense or tactical aircraft, the controller shall also request the pilot to complete an armament safety
check.
EXAMPLE-
"Perform armament safety check."
7-2-3. VECTORS
Escort aircraft shall be vectored to a position 5 miles directly behind the hijacked aircraft. The vectors shall be planned to
approach the hijacked aircraft from the rear to avoid the possibility of being observed and to position the escort aircraft at the
same altitude, speed, and heading as the hijacked aircraft.
7-2-4. RADAR REQUIREMENTS
Normally, radar contact with both aircraft is required. However, if the pilot of the escort aircraft has the hijacked aircraft in
visual contact, the mission may continue without radar contact.
7-2-5. AIRPORT LIMITATIONS
When the hijacked aircraft descends for the purpose of landing at an airport within the continental U.S., the escort aircraft will
not follow the hijacked aircraft into airspace delegated to an approach control facility. The FAA facility controlling the aircraft
or within whose airspace the aircraft is operating shall issue instructions to the pilot or to the military control facility for the
aircraft to hold at a specified altitude and location and wait for further instructions.
7-2-6. RESPONSIBILITIES PRIOR TO JOIN-UP
Until the escort aircraft has joined-up with the hijacked aircraft, the pilot shall be kept informed of the hijacked aircraft
heading, speed, altitude, and destination (if known); also, its range and position relative to the escort aircraft. For
fighter/interceptor aircraft, the application of "optimum cruise" will normally ensure sufficient overtake during the "join-up"
phase. Assign an altitude which is either the altitude of the hijacked aircraft or the optimum altitude requested by the escort
aircraft pilot when the hijacked aircraft is at a lower altitude. Descend the escort aircraft to the altitude of the hijacked aircraft
4. prior to reaching a point 30 miles from the target. When the hijacked aircraft is at a low altitude where communications
between the escort aircraft and the control facility would be questionable, a second escort aircraft (which will normally be
available when NORAD interceptors are being utilized) may be stationed at a higher altitude near the hijacked aircraft's position
for relay of information between the control facility and the escort aircraft maintaining visual surveillance.
7-2-7. POSITIONING INSTRUCTIONS
Unless the escort pilot has a visual contact, plan the join-up at 30 miles and issue positioning instructions.
EXAMPLE-
"Echo Golf One Two, when contact is established, maintain surveillance. Approach no closer than five miles directly behind.
Remain out of sight from cockpit or cabin, and report all actions observed."
NOTE-
The pilot will advise you when the hijacked aircraft has been acquired on airborne radar (if his aircraft is so equipped) and when
visual contact has been achieved.
7-2-8. TERMINATION HEADING
When terminating the escort for purposes of recovery, repositioning, refueling, etc., issue a heading of at least 90 degrees from
the hijacked aircraft's heading.
Section 3. REPLACEMENT/RECOVERY OF ESCORT AIRCRAFT
7-3-1. REPLACEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Replacement of escort aircraft which must be recovered prior to hijack mission termination will be accomplished automatically
by the military. To aid the military in planning for replacement aircraft and recovery airfields, "fuel state" shall be obtained from
the pilot and relayed as requested. Replacement aircraft, if available, will be dispatched to assume the airborne escort role
prior to
the initiation of recovery procedures. When the escort aircraft is being controlled by an ARTCC/CERAP and replacement
requirements are made known, the ARTCC/CERAP controlling the aircraft shall coordinate the replacement with the applicable
NORAD Region/SOCC/ROCC as required. The hijack coordinator will be advised of replacement actions.
7-3-2. RECOVERY RESPONSIBILITIES
Recovery requirements and the selection of the recovery field is the responsibility of the military command. The hijack
coordinator will advise the ARTCC/CERAP controlling the escort when
the escort is to be terminated. The facility will coordinate the recovery with the NORAD Region/SOCC/ROCC. The
ARTCC/CERAP will relay to the pilot recovery decisions received from the NORAD Region/SOCC/ROCC; i.e., recovery base, base
weather, and frequently inform the pilot of his position in relation to the selected recovery field.
7-3-3. RETURN-TO-BASE
Return-to-base shall be accomplished under FAA control. Escort aircraft under military control when the escort mission is
terminated will be transferred to FAA control as soon as practicable.
7-3-4. REFUELING OPERATIONS
When refueling operations are conducted, the procedures in Chapter 10 shall apply.
5. Section 4. FORWARDING INFORMATION
7-4-1. FAA HEADQUARTERS REQUIREMENTS
FAA facilities shall respond to directions issued by the FAA hijack coordinator concerning hijack incidents and keep Emergency
Operations Staff (ADA-20) informed of the progress of the escort missions. ADA-20 will establish communications
conferencing as required.
7-4-2. POSITION REPORTS WITHIN NORAD RADAR COVERAGE
When the hijacking activity is within coverage of the NORAD surveillance system, position
reports will be forwarded to the Cheyenne Mountain AFB/Air Defense Operations Center (CMAFB/ADOC) by NORAD units. To
facilitate NORAD tracking, every attempt shall be made to ensure that the hijacked aircraft is squawking Mode 3/A, code 7500.
The NORAD control facility shall be advised if the hijacked aircraft is squawking a different transponder code. The NORAD
control facility will also be advised of the Mode 3/A code setting assigned to hijack escort aircraft when other than NORAD
interceptor aircraft are being employed. This would
assist NORAD control facilities in monitoring the ongoing situation when non-NORAD resources are used.
7-4-3. POSITION REPORTS OUTSIDE NORAD RADAR COVERAGE
When the hijacking activity takes place outside NORAD radar coverage within the continental United States, the ARTCC/CERAP
controlling the activity shall forward position reports to the appropriate NORAD/SOCC/ROCC Senior Director. The position
reports shall be forwarded
as follows:
a. The initial report from the ARTCC/CERAP to the NORAD/SOCC/ROCC Senior Director shall include the following:
1. Call sign of the hijacked aircraft.
2. Time (UTC).
3. Position in latitude and longitude.
4. Heading.
5. Speed.
6. Altitude.
7. Position of escort aircraft with respect to hijacked aircraft, if requested.
EXAMPLE-
"Universal Four Thirty-one, one seven three zero zulu, position, 34°26'N - 81°03'W, heading one seven five, true airspeed four
eight zero knots, flight level three seven zero."
b. Subsequent reports shall include all of the items in subparagraph a, above, except that items 4, 5, and 6 shall only be
reported if different from the initial information.
c. When control of the hijacked aircraft is transferred to another ARTCC/CERAP, the transferring facility shall notify the ATCSCC.
Section 5. MISSION TERMINATION
6. 7-5-1. TERMINATION AUTHORITY
The escort mission may be terminated by FAA headquarters, the National Military Command Center, or major military command
authority. Termination of the mission shall be relayed to the escort aircraft by the controlling facility.
7-5-2. OVERFLIGHT CLEARANCE
Escort aircraft shall not be cleared to overfly boundaries of foreign countries other than Canada without overflight approval.
The appropriate air traffic control facility will be informed of overflight approval prior to the hijacked aircraft exiting U.S.
airspace. When the escort aircraft is being controlled by an FAA facility, overflight approval will be received through the FAA
hijack coordinator. The pilot shall be informed of the overflight approval upon receipt.
