AIRPORTS CONFRONT DRONES WITH SAFETY AND SECURITY TOP OF MIND<\/span><\/h2>\n

By Sandy Smith<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the last things a pilot on approach to a busy airport wants to worry about is an errant drone colliding with his or her aircraft. Unfortunately, as the world saw in December and January, this is exactly what happened in the airspace near London Gatwick and Newark Liberty International airports. The incident at Gatwick, reported to involve multiple drones operating over a 3-day period between December 19 to 21, resulted in hundreds of flight cancellations and well over 100,000 passenger disruptions during the very busy holiday travel season. The incident at Newark, although less disruptive, was reported by pilots to involve a drone flying \u201c20-30 feet\u201d away from an airliner and forced air traffic controllers to divert air traffic to other runways at the airport until the FAA was confident the drone no longer posed a threat to air safety.<\/p>\n

Both events highlight the safety and operational impact unauthorized flights of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) on or near airports can pose.<\/p>\n

Airports are an obvious choice for a close encounter with an untrained drone operator who \u201clooks for what appears to be a large, wide-open space to fly their drone that happens to be near an airport,\u201d said Scott Brockman, President and CEO of the Memphis\/Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA). Complicating the issue: \u201cThe speed at which drones and other technology is advancing and the ability of the aviation system to truly adapt. It\u2019s coming. Are we ready for it?\u201d<\/p>\n

The answer to that question remains somewhat unclear. Still, some airports are taking a dual leadership role in making sure that protocols are developed and in exploring the many benefits of drones.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating to see these near-misses and know there is potential for an awful accident,\u201d said Marily Mora, President and CEO of Reno Airport Authority and a member of the FAA\u2019s Drone Advisory Committee. \u201cThey have so much potential to help in airports that we don\u2019t want to see the progress stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n

CONCERNS, CLOSE CALLS<\/h3>\n

As the technology improves and the price point declines, UAS offer potential for airports. But they offer that same potential for users outside the airport, threatening control of airspace.<\/p>\n

ACI-NA member airports have been proactive on the issue. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey hosted a winter working session that included the FAA, FBI, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, state police, the U.S. Coast Guard, and others. The PANYNJ issued a statement about the event:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to keeping Port Authority airports at the forefront of protection and technology. Federal law empowers federal officials to respond to drone activity. The Port Authority hosted a working session at its World Trade Center headquarters to review and enhance protocols for the rapid detection and interdiction of drones\u2026For security reasons, we cannot discuss specifics. We are committed to continuing our collaboration with the FAA and federal and state law enforcement partners to protect against any and all drone threats to the maximum extent possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The FAA requires pilots that operate near airports use the FAA\u2019s UAS Data Exchange \u2013 Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) system to identify their craft and UAS operations. One major problem: \u201cThe majority of people who use that system are the responsible pilots,\u201d said Thomas Mackie, Aviation Practice Leader and Vice President at Woolpert. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of work to be done to help airports and air traffic organizations, for us in aviation to educate, and for the community to communicate properly back to the airports when flying.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating to see these near-misses and know there is potential for an awful accident\u2026 They have so much potential to help in airports that we don\u2019t want to see the progress\u00a0stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n

– Marily Mora, FAA\u2019s Drone Advisory Committee<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It also means that all players \u2013 airports, airlines, air traffic control and the government \u2013 get on the same page, Brockman said. \u201cThe biggest issue is one that\u2019s probably the most difficult to solve: the identification and acceptance of the sharing of information and the blending of technology across the various industry groups. Right now, everyone operates in a very proprietary way, but in order to truly integrate and manage drones in a safe way, we have to find a way to safely share certain information.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brockman believes the solution is best tackled in small bites rather than \u201cthe whole enchilada,\u201d which he fears will slow down evaluation, analysis, and implementation. \u201cWhen you get the ruling that says, \u2018That test was a failure, therefore, we\u2019ve got to take a step back and re-evaluate which puts us further behind as technology continues to\u00a0advance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reno-Tahoe was one of the first seven airports to become part of the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) system and accounted for about a fourth of the initial approvals, Mora said. She points to the local general aviation airport, the Reno-Tahoe owned Reno-Stead Airport, where NASA has been conducting UAS testing to develop protocols for the integration of drones with manned aircraft. The City of Reno, and Flirtey, a Reno-based UAS company, were selected in May 2018 as one of 10 projects for the USDOT\u2019s UAS integration Pilot Program. More recently, on Jan. 14, 2019, the Nevada UAS Test Site\u2019s Smart Silver State Project was named one of the three projects to mature technologies for unmanned aircraft traffic\u00a0management.<\/p>\n

POTENTIAL FOR GOOD<\/h3>\n

It is clear that drone technology is coming, and airports must be a participant in driving how drones impact the airspace in the community. That said, airports see positive benefits in their own operations. Woolpert, for instance, uses drones as \u201canother layer of our remote sensing capabilities,\u201d said Mackie. That includes construction site monitoring, aerial photography, pavement and structural assessments, wetland delineation and environmental applications.<\/p>\n

Woolpert also advises its airport clients on integration efforts, ranging from regulatory and UAS technology to public outreach and awareness.<\/p>\n

Perhaps nowhere is the potential for drone technology more exemplified than at Woolpert client Savannah\/Hilton Head International Airport in Georgia. \u201cThey have sections of fence that are in the swamp and are primarily accessible in waders or via boat. Within five minutes of us flying an inaccessible perimeter fence line and showing what we could do, we identified trees that had recently fallen and taken out a section of fence,\u201d Mackie said. \u201cYou can\u2019t hire enough people to do this efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n

As one of nine lead participants in the FAA\u2019s UAS Integration Pilot Program, MSCAA landed approval to test drones at Memphis International Airport for checking the perimeter fence security. It helped that the airport knew the topography of the airfield, what the fence looks like and how it should be maintained. The idea is to input the GPS so that the drone can recognize changes to the fence lines. Brockman sees a future of nesting stations, where a battery of drones can recharge and download information before returning to scan the perimeter, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the system.<\/p>\n

When the drone encounters a taxiway or runway, \u201cit will stop and communicate with the tower independently to get approval to cross that area,\u201d Brockman said. If the drone detects an anomaly in the perimeter, it will communicate that personnel need to be\u00a0dispatched.<\/p>\n

The saving of staff time would be enormous, Brockman said, especially if implemented at airports around the world\u00a0\u2013 and the possibility for human error would be removed. It is not a perfect system \u2013 not yet at least. \u201cIf the battery life and distance can be improved, it will be a phenomenal benefit to aviation by being able to do this,\u201d Brockman said.<\/p>\n

Memphis\u2019 tenant FedEx also is participating in the tests using drones to inspect aircraft. Brockman said the drone could be programmed with the manufacturer\u2019s specifications for that exact plane. \u201cIt knows every rivet, every protrusion, every light.\u201d<\/p>\n

This inspection would not replace the pilot and mechanic inspections, but rather supplement or enhance human\u00a0inspection.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, everyone operates in a very proprietary way, but in order to truly integrate and manage drones in a safe way, we have to find a way to safely share certain information.\u201d<\/p>\n

– Scott Brockman, Memphis\/Shelby County Airport Authority<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Airports also could use drones in ways similar to large construction projects. \u201cInstead of sending people up on roofs to inspect buildings and facilities, there are several design and engineering construction companies that are using drones to do so,\u201d said Dean Schultz, Reno\u2019s Chief Operating Officer. \u201cThey are much more efficient and gathering a lot more data in a short amount of time. We wouldn\u2019t want to miss out on that opportunity as well. Soon, we could have a drone doing the runway inspection.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the pace of adoption and improvements of technology, the sky is the literal limit. \u201cThere is testing going on every day at airports,\u201d Schultz said. \u201cIt\u2019s little by little, following the crawl, walk, run method. We\u2019re in the crawl stage, but it won\u2019t be long before we\u2019re walking and running.\u201d<\/p>\n

FUTURE FOCUSED<\/h3>\n

Mackie anticipates a day when the general public will gain more of an understanding of the potential impact and the importance of abiding by the regulations. Improvement in sense-and-avoid technologies and the UTM also are being developed.<\/p>\n

As improved drones and safety mechanisms merge, \u201cthat\u2019s going to allow a large variety of UAS applications while helping mitigate the safety concerns with midair collisions and property damage,\u201d Mackie says. \u201cEvery year we see better and better safety mechanisms on the aircraft themselves. You\u2019ll see another adjustment to our federal regulation in the U.S., which will ease the ability for more UAS operations over people, over public areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

It may be just in time, because drone technology itself continues to march forward and new uses will continue to be adapted, Brockman believes. \u201cAt some point, there will be a cost-effective drone that will be able to carry a payload of more than a couple of pounds for longer than 10-15 minutes. When that occurs, the pressure to put some of those things into society without a real good plan to integrate them safely and effectively is really a concern at least for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brockman believes within the next decade, there will be unmanned, low-altitude personal aircraft that can ferry passengers downtown \u2013 and he believes airports can play a role in that. \u201cBusiness models will operate differently than they do now. How are you going to monetize your airport if you lose parking, because of autonomous vehicles? I see a day when things are so automated that you\u2019ll need to find a new way to monetize operations. You\u2019ll still need miles of runway, terminals to get people on the plane, but how much of this other stuff are you going to need? That will be determined over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is testing going on every day at airports\u2026 It\u2019s little by little, following the crawl, walk, run method. We\u2019re in the crawl stage, but it won\u2019t be long before we\u2019re walking and running.\u201d<\/p>\n

– Dean Schultz, Reno Airport Authority<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If there has been one good thing to come out of the recent UAS incidents at Gatwick and Newark, it is an increased awareness, Mora believes. \u201cIn both cases, to have operational considerations and delays because of drones, it\u2019s something we don\u2019t want to see happen. It\u2019s going to step up the cry for airport operators to get the drone detection technology that the FAA is working on. This will just speed up the conversation and the need for all of\u00a0that.\u201d\u2002<<\/p>\n

TRANSPORT CANADA: TIGHTER RULES<\/h3>\n

Transport Canada is implementing new rules for drone use on June 1, which will require a certificate for non-commercial drone pilots. These pilots must pass an online examination to receive a pilot certificate. As of that date, they will need to have their pilot certificate and proof of registration readily available.<\/p>\n

Other changes coming June 1 raise the altitude at which drones can fly \u2013 from 300 to 400 feet in the air. Rules requiring a distance from an airport \u2013 5.6 km (3 miles) \u2013 remain the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
