What's FAA Going to Do?

Plan Released

The FAA has released its strategic goals, and we thought we'd have a quick look at the General Aviation section... which includes UAVs... hmmm...

Here's that little section; for the complete document, please go to the link at the bottom of the story.

Aside from the interesting insertion of the UAV mention, it all looks like "Mom and Apple Pie" to us, with some long-neglected programs' coming closer to the fore. What do you think?

...OBJECTIVE TWO: REDUCE THE NUMBER OF FATAL ACCIDENTS IN GENERAL AVIATION.

STRATEGY
Implement technologies and systems that will help pilots operate aircraft as safely as possible.

Initiatives

1. Provide Visual Flight Rule (VFR) pilots with Instrument Flight Rule - like (IFR) environments by achieving full operational capability of WAAS and delivery of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B/TIS-B) at key sites.
2. Provide text and graphical data (for example, weather, wind shear alerts, temporary flight restrictions, and notices to airmen) to the cockpit through flight information services broadcast (FIS-B) on an ADS-B link.
3. Increase situational awareness by improving the capabilities of small aircraft with integrated displays, WAAS, data-link, and ADS-B/TIS-B aircraft position.

STRATEGY
Establish stand (sic) procedures and guidelines for general aviation operators.

Initiatives
  1. Ensure that safety oversight and regulatory compliance keeps pace with changes in the general aviation environment.
  2. Publish RPN/Area Navigation (RNAV) approaches.
  3. Continue to implement General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (JSC) initiatives and pursue joint identification and analysis of safety issues within JSC.
  4. Continue applied human factors research to identify human factors in accidents and develop strategies and methods for reducing such accidents.
  5. Develop and implement airport design standards, surface movement strategies, surface movement procedures, infrastructure, and training to enhance the efficiency of aircraft movement and to reduce collision risk
  6. Develop policies, procedures, and approval processes to enable operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
  7. Develop streamlined processes for certifying and approving communications navigation surveillance (CNS) equipment, basic cockpit displays, electronic flight bags (EFB), and other safety related flight technologies.
