The EUROCAE Organisation
Established in 1963 as a European technical forum for administrations, airlines and industry. Prepares minimum performance specifications for airborne electronic equipment as a basis for EASA Technical Standard Orders (ETSO). Activities now extended to include complex CNS/ATM systems including their ground segment. EUROCAE: Is recognised by the European Commission as the unique body competent for the standardisation and interoperability required for the Single European Sky concept; and is acknowledged by ICAO which references its documents.

EUROCAE Working Group 73
EUROCAE WG-73 was launched in April 2006 following earlier work by EUROCONTROL, NATO, and JAA. WG-73 participates in the ICAO UAS Study Group.
WG-73 cooperates with other bodies dealing with UAS.
European Aviation Safety Agency
EUROCAE WG73 Objectives
Requirements framework airworthiness
that will support civilian UAS certification and
operational
approvals.
Safe operation within non-segregated airspace
in a manner compatible with other airspace users,
including
step by step process
Compatibility with the existing ATM
regulatory framework; Investigation of
longer term ATM adaptations M. Allouche WG73 SG2 Briefing

Safety Criteria – Harmonization Challenge Illustration Reference MIL-STD-882C AC 23.1309
Catastrophic Definition Death, System Loss or severe environmental damage Failure Conditions that are expected to result in multiple fatalities of the occupants, or incapacitation or fatal injury to a flight crewmember normally with the loss of the airplane. AMJ25.1309 (A340 TC basis) Failure conditions which would prevent continued safe flight and landing.
ACJ CS-25.1309 Amdt 5 Failure Conditions, which would result in multiple fatalities, usually with the loss of the aeroplane STANAG4671/USAR EASA A-NPA 16/2005 Failure conditions that result in a worst credible outcome of at least uncontrolled flight (including flight outside of pre-planned or contingency flight profiles/areas) and/or uncontrolled crash, which can potentially result in a fatality.
The worst UAV hazard event designated hereafter as “Catastrophic” or Severity I Event may be defined as the UAVs inability to continue controlled flight and reach any predefined landing site, i.e. an UAV uncontrolled flight followed by an uncontrolled cra Not specified. To be part of the manned CS tailoring exercise EASA DRAFT UAS TC POLICY FAA-EASA Meeting (April 2009) Failure Conditions that could result in multiple fatalities on the surface or in the air.

Airworthiness and Operational interrelated aspects
Any equipment
that may be
required under operational
also be
subject to airworthiness approval
rules shall under relevant criteria
Operational assumptions
that may be taken during the airworthiness certification process, as an example: UAS envisaged mode of operation Emergency Procedures considered in UAS System Safety Assessment ATC interface, should
be clearly identified.
Airworthiness versus Operational Safety Targets Operational Restrictions
envisaged in the framework of
Restricted Type Certification Process.

Conclusive Remarks
Civil UAS Rule-making process Pragmatic approach
EASA UAS TC Policy framework At this stage, Type Certification Basis on a case by case basis, considering
specific UAS
character.
Restricted TC to be also considered
Intermix of civil and military inevitable
Military UAS likely to be used in civil applications
Harmonization is a must
Civil / Civil Civil / Military takes more time…
Eurocae WG73 open to harmonization efforts and related cooperation Military Airworthiness Workshop, EU2009.CZ, Olomouc, Czech Republic, 5 June 2009 – M. Allouche WG73 SG2 Briefing
