Safe use of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) in the field of civil aviation (A8-0261/2015 - Jacqueline Foster) CS
Amendments (5)
Amendment 60 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Notes that the impact of RPAS on manned traffic is limited due to the small ratio of RPAS to manned aircraft; recognises, however, that air traffic management (ATM) pressures may increase due to the welcome growth of sports and recreational RPAS, butwhich may in some circumstances pose a threat to air traffic safety; calls for this factor to be taken into account by the relevant authorities in order to ensure a continued efficient standard of ATM across Member States;
Amendment 63 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Underlines the fact that in the long term, technical and regulatory solutions should preferably enable RPAS to use the airspace alongside any other airspace user without imposing on the latter new equipment requirements; notes that that there are a large number of small RPAS operating below 500 feet, together with manned aircraft, which means that the flight level at which unmanned aircraft may be operated should be clearly delimited; stresses that although ANSPs do not provide ATC services at these altitudes, they do have a responsibility to provide sufficient information for both types of aircraft to coexist in the same airspace; notes that EUROCONTROL is supporting states in creating a common understanding of the issues involved and in driving harmonisation as much as possible;
Amendment 76 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Considers that rules at EU and national level should clearly indicate the provisions applicable to RPAS in relation to the internal market and international commerce (production, sale, purchase, trade and use of RPAS); believes also that privacy, data protection and any other applicable law, such as criminal, intellectual property, aviation and environmental law, including those which relate to the many different risks and responsibilities associated with flying RPAS, should be specified in a notice for purchasers;
