examination and analysis of its
regulatory, operational, doctrinal,
technological and economical aspects.

GIVEN AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF RISK

10. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
KEY
CONTRIBUTION FROM ALL ACTORS (Countries – International Bodies)

11. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
GIVEN THE HIGHLY EVOLUTIONARY NATURE OF THE ENTIRE RPAS MATTER
THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK SHOULD BE FLEXIBLE, ALLOWING
INNOVATION AND EXPERIMENTATION AND HAVING PROVISION TO RAPIDLY
INCORPORATE THE RESULTS OF SUCH ACTIVITY
IT SHOULD ALLOW BOTH APPROACHES:
- FROM SCENARIO AND OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS TO CERTIFICATION
STANDARDS (PRODUCTION)
- FROM DESIGN TO OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS AND PERMISSIBLE
SCENARIO (EXPERIMENTATION)

12. RISK
THE RISK HAS TO BE DEFINED AND
THE CONTRIBUTION OF ALL
RELEVANT COMPONENTS MEASURED
THIS WILL DEFINE APPLICABLE RULES
WITH RISK-REDUCTION MEASURE IF
NEEDED
