ARPAS-UK runs a BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) Technical Special Interest Group (SIG) for its Members. It is evident that there is no one solution and the SIG will explore various ideas and topics relating to BVLOS and how it might work in the UK from an industry point of view.
ARPAS-UK is also involved with the NATS BVLOS Forum, an industry led group convened by NATS. We attend to represent all members who wish to fly BVLOS in the future, but also as a means to support future Associate members with dissemination of discussions and to feedback members’ viewpoints.
