Hello, this summer the spanish agency for flight security has started to issue the regulation for the UAV/RPAS. They are at the first steps but I would like to open here a new thread, because it will be common laws on European Union countries, I suppose.
As I know there are a lack of regulations in other EU countries and hobby and semi pro UAV will be under the similar regulation and laws. So we can share the common security restriction to get at the future a Gluonpilot taht we could use for a long time. FPV is not much different from pro UAV
Nothing to say here about weight , distance and height (<125m) for the plane due the autopilot is the most important here I think. At the moment there is not much detail about security levels but there are four main goals. And of course the 100% security is not possible
#1 Failed on auto mode flight...
"need a more explained detail, but I think at the worst case and on the line of sight, we can only return from auto to manual mode becasue a second autopilot is a impossible solution¿?, only an indepent second telemetry link on RC transmitter to show bear to Home and a variometer to return safe on manual mode or fast reset the board, ??"
#2 Lost of RC and data link....
I have tested gluon on both case and it works perfect , due to the #2 and the #1 case wont be together (not 100% security)
|#3 Emergency procedure on lost position of the plane....
the GPS signal can be lossed on turn but only for a short time, I never lost the GPS signal, only a few moments the data link. But if the GPS failed for a long time, only a redudant second GPS or the solution on case #1 to return. A beep tone on RC or laptop could be helpfull. I´m not secure if only using IMU data the plane can return to home about 70 m around.
#4 End the flight at one decision. Due to fire, collision, case # 1 & 2 & 3 , etc
the solution could be mandatory, the complete destroy of the plane?, elevator down, aileron & ruddder to right, motor down or?.
There are only initial steps and need more detailed but it is a good way to flight safe with our planes. I think we can put together this regulations for a perfect Gluonpilot. Gluon never failed to me. RTOS? the red color? no Tom is the cause with no poorly components on the plane. In my opinion is a perfect AP, the best AP
I would appreciate some new ideas and countries regulations because I think that is a very very important step on hobby-pro autopilots future.
Thanks and I hope I can return soon to flight
