Canadian Unmanned Aircraft Systems Standards
CCUVS is participating in a new initiative from Transport Canada - the establishment of a UAV Programme Design Working Group, to develop standards for UAS operations, personnel and system products. The purpose of this group is to develop standards for consideration by the Authority, Transport Canada, which might act as the basis for the Authority to develop regulations for routine UAS civil and commercial operation. It is anticipated that the activity will be formally launched on or just after 28 June 2010 in Ottawa.
The first focus of the group is likely to be is on UA with a maximum take off weight of less than 35kg. There is some urgency to develop standards for routine UAS operation in Canada and the aim is to make as rapid progress as possible.
Anyone interested in learning more about this important activity should contact Dewar Donnithorne-Tait, CCUVS, on m: 403 977 5357 t: 403 488 7208 e:dewardt@ccuvs.com
