  • Easy Access Rules for Standardised European Rules of the Air (SERA)
    Easy Access Rules for Standardised European Rules of the Air (SERA) EASA eRules: aviation rules for the 21st century Rules and regulations are the core of the European Union civil aviation system. The aim of the EASA eRules project is to make them accessible in an efficient and reliable way to stakeholders. EASA eRules will be a comprehensive, single system for the drafting, sharing and storing of rules. It will be the single source for all aviation safety rules applicable to European airspace users. It will offer easy (online) access to all rules and regulations as well as new and innovative applications such as rulemaking process automation, stakeholder consultation, cross-referencing, and comparison with ICAO and third countries’ standards. To achieve these ambitious objectives, the EASA eRules project is structured in ten modules to cover all aviation rules and innovative functionalities. The EASA eRules system is developed and implemented in close cooperation with Member States and aviation industry to ensure that all its capabilities are relevant and effective. Published December 20201 1 The published date represents the date when the consolidated version of the document was generated.

  • Collaborative En Route Airspace Management Considering Stochastic Demand, Capacity, and Weather Conditions
    Collaborative En Route Airspace Management Considering Stochastic Demand, Capacity, and Weather Conditions by Jeffrey M. Henderson A dissertation presented to the Faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering Dr. Antonio Trani, Chair Dr. Hojong Baik Dr. Hesham Rakha Dr. Gerardo Flintsch Dr. C. Patrick Koelling March 26, 2008 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Airspace, Thunderstorms, Equity, Air Traffic Control, Simulation Copyright 2008, Jeffrey M. Henderson Collaborative En Route Airspace Management Considering Stochastic Demand, Capacity, and Weather Conditions Jeffrey M. Henderson ABSTRACT The busiest regions of airspace in the U.S. are congested during much of the day from traffic volume, weather, and other airspace restrictions. The projected growth in demand for airspace is expected to worsen this congestion while reducing system efficiency and safety. This dissertation focuses on providing methods to analyze en route airspace congestion during severe convective weather (i.e. thunderstorms) in an effort to provide more efficient aircraft routes in terms of: en route travel time, air traffic controller workload, aircraft collision potential, and equity between airlines and other airspace users. The en route airspace is generally that airspace that aircraft use between the top of climb and top of descent. Existing en route airspace flight planning models have several important limitations. These models do not appropriately consider the uncertainty in airspace demand associated with departure time prediction and en route travel time. Also, airspace capacity is typically assumed to be a static value with no adjustments for weather or other dynamic conditions that impact the air traffic controller.

  • NWIRP Dallas Is an Aerospace Manufacturing Complex Constructed in 1941 As Part of the U.S
    I NTEGRATED C ULTURAL R ESOURCES M ANAGEMENT P LAN HISTORIC CONTEXT INTRODUCTION NWIRP Dallas is an aerospace manufacturing complex constructed in 1941 as part of the U.S. World War II Industrial Mobilization Program. Known as Plancor #25, NWIRP Dallas initially consisted of 85 buildings and structures spread out over 153 acres in rural Dallas County, near the city limits of both Dallas and Grand Prairie, Texas. The original project owner, the DPC, was a governmental body assigned to fund and build a variety of industrial facilities across the United States that produced essential military goods for World War II. North American Aviation Inc. leased the government- owned plant from 1941 to August 1945, producing nearly 30,000 aircraft of three different types for the Army, Air Force, and Navy. NWIRP Dallas has been leased to six different tenants over the past six decades: North American Aviation, TEMCO, Chance Vought Aircraft Corporation, LTV, Northrop Grumman, and Vought Aircraft Industries. Today, the complex consists of 343 resources on 314.66 acres. NWIRP Dallas has a complicated but important history that details the role it played during the Second World War and its significance throughout the Cold War. Its history is not only the story of an aircraft plant but also of the growth of Dallas County and the aircraft industry in North Texas communities. WORLD WAR II In the mid-1930s, there were definite signs that the peace established in Europe following World War I was tenuous. The first indication of trouble appeared in 1933 when Germany elected Adolf Hitler as its Chancellor and demanded equality with France and England, not disarmament.

  • Review of Research
    Review of ReseaRch REGULATORY CHALLENGES WITH CIVIL DRONES IN INDIA Mohd Owais Farooqui Assistant Professor of Law, School of Law, HILSR, Jamia issN: 2249-894X Hamdard University, New Delhi (India) impact factoR : 5.7631(Uif) UGc appRoved JoURNal No. 48514 ABSTRACT: volUme - 8 | issUe - 8 | may - 2019 “Drones technically called as Unmanned Aircraft System( hereafter referred as ‘UAS') are a military technology now being developed for civilian and commercial use across the globe. Drone technology has grown exponentially and the law has to contend its growth. We have reached technological breakthroughs in the form of unmanned aviation as they have reached their fullest potential and ready to be implemented for civilian applications like surveillance, nuclear-biological- chemical (NBC) sensing/tracking, traffic monitoring, flood mapping, crime investigation, police, motion picture, news and media support, cargo transportation, monitoring of sensitive sites (like Fukushima nuclear catastrophe), forests fire monitoring, etc. The manned aircraft which are globally in-use may be replaced with the unmanned aircraft due to its eco-friendly nature based on less CO2 emissions, less noise pollution etc. It has been predicted by Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) that the global market for civilian unmanned aircraft stood at US$11.3bn in 2013 and has the potential to grow to over US$140bn in the next ten years. It further stated that 80 percent of the commercial market for drones eventually will be for agricultural uses. Thus, the emerging civil drone sector across the globe has a wide application and will have a significant impact on jobs, the economy, how business is carried out and the aviation industry.
