The Single European Sky (SES) initiative seeks to make EU airspace less fragmented and to improve air traffic management in terms of safety, capacity, cost-efficiency and the environment. Its current regulatory framework is based on two legislative packages: SES I (adopted in 2004), which set up the principal legal framework, and SES II (adopted in 2009), which aimed to tackle substantial air traffic growth, increase safety, and reduce costs and delays and the impact of air traffic on the environment ...

This At a glance note summarises the study providing research into the operations of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) within European Airspace and in particular over populated areas. It provides an overview of good practices and military and civil UAS integration. This research has been used to inform an assessment of the Drone Strategy 2.0 and the extent to which it addresses the challenges and barriers identified. The study concludes with a set of proposed policy recommendations.

Unmanned aerial vehicles – drones – are a rapidly evolving high potential sector. They require an adequate legislative framework to ensure that the services they can provide thrive in the EU internal market while meeting security and safety standards. The European Commission's 'drone strategy 2.0' is a key milestone along this road.

Namen pobude za enotno evropsko nebo je zmanjšati razdrobljenost evropskega zračnega prostora ter tako povečati učinkovitost upravljanja in navigacijskih služb zračnega prometa. Pobuda, ki je v teku, je po svoji naravi vseevropska in odprta za sosednje države.

This paper details the major safety risks associated with the use of drones into airspace and identifies the technical solutions that could address these risks. It also examines to what extent existing/proposed aviation regulations are appropriate to ensure the safety of drone operations and makes recommendations on this matter.

Congestion at major EU airports has led to a system of take-off and landings permits called ‘slots’. Airlines are allocated slots according to their previous use, through the ‘Grandfather Rights’ rule. This note shows that while this system impacts negatively on aircraft size, through phenomena known as ‘slot hoarding’ and ‘slot babysitting’, this impact is mitigated by the increase in traffic which brings about operation of larger aircraft.

This report captures the status of deployment of SESAR through the Pilot Common Project (PCP) in terms of state of play, costs and timeliness. It is concluded that the PCP implementation is on time and underpinned by a credible management structure. The expenditure to date through the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) mechanism is EUR 325.4 million, out of EUR 3 billion planned for 2014-2020. However, as the PCP implementation is at an early stage, the benefits are still to be quantified.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is one of the EU's decentralised bodies. Based in Cologne, it has specific regulatory and executive tasks in the field of civil aviation safety and environmental protection. The Agency prepares draft rules, provides technical, scientific and administrative support, conducts standardisation inspections and investigations and certifies aviation products. The scope of its competences might be extended in the framework of the revision of its Basic Regulation ...
