EWIS Considerations for UAVs
Many of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) built have been for military applications. As this technology has matured so has the reliability. The improvements in reliability have made it a viable consideration to support civilian applications. Right now, the FAA has not certified a UAV, but undoubtedly this will occur. This video provides a cursory review of UAVs from an EWIS perspective specifically, how should EWIS risk assessment and certification be considered.
In this 10 minute video we cover:
- The fundamentals of EWIS risk assessment
- Guiding principles as related to overall aircraft risk assessment
- Potential key regulations
- Physical EWIS failure
- Functional EWIS failure
- How existing regulations on general aviation might provide insight to UAVs
