Towards FAA Certification of Uavs

By: Nasa, National Aeronautics and Space Adm

As of June 30, 2003, all Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), no matter how small, must adhere to the same FAA regulations as human-piloted aircraft. These regulations include certification for flying in controlled airspace and certification of flight software based on RTCA DO-178B. This paper provides an overview of the steps necessary to obtain certification, as well as a discussion about the challenges UAV's face when trying to meet these requirements. It is divided into two parts: 1) Certifications for Flying in Controlled Airspace; 2) Certification of Flight Software per RTCA DO-178B.Nelson, StacyAmes Research CenterPILOTLESS AIRCRAFT; REGULATIONS; AIRSPACE; COMPUTER PROGRAMS
