3.1 Specific category UAS rely primarily on the use of technical and operational risk controls to achieve safe operation. Technical risk controls can vary in their applicability, reliability, effectiveness, and demonstrated design integrity, therefore understanding the ‘robustness’ of implemented technical risk controls is crucial to developing a suite of credible and defensible risk controls to support Specific category UAS operations.
3.2 This chapter explores how common technical risk controls can be implemented and the resulting contribution provided to the safety of Specific category UAS operations.
3.3 This is a placeholder for a future update to this section detailing the Authority’s view on the ‘robustness’ of technical risk controls proposed in support of Specific category UAS operations. In the interim, please contact the chapter Sponsor for the latest guidance.
