“…Significant research is being undertaken to model and assess these risks and, based on the research findings, inform the development of regulations to ensure they are appropriately managed. (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) Guiding the development of safety regulations for drones is a high-level safety objective. The most widely adopted qualification of the high-level safety objective is through equivalence to the safety performance of CPA.…”

Risk Perception and the Public Acceptance of Drones

et al. 2015

Unmanned aircraft, or drones, are a rapidly emerging sector of the aviation industry. There has been limited substantive research, however, into the public perception and acceptance of drones. This article presents the results from two surveys of the Australian public designed to investigate (1) whether the public perceive drones to be riskier than existing manned aviation, (2) whether the terminology used to describe the technology influences public perception, and (3) what the broader concerns are that may influence public acceptance of the technology. We find that the Australian public currently hold a relatively neutral attitude toward drones. Respondents did not consider the technology to be overly unsafe, risky, beneficial, or threatening. Drones are largely viewed as being of comparable risk to that of existing manned aviation. Furthermore, terminology had a minimal effect on the perception of the risks or acceptability of the technology. The neutral response is likely due to a lack of knowledge about the technology, which was also identified as the most prevalent public concern as opposed to the risks associated with its use. Privacy, military use, and misuse (e.g., terrorism) were also significant public concerns. The results suggest that society is yet to form an opinion of drones. As public knowledge increases, the current position is likely to change. Industry communication and media coverage will likely influence the ultimate position adopted by the public, which can be difficult to change once established.

“…Application of existing airworthiness standards to UAS could be problematic because the hazards mitigated by those standards may not be the same as those for UAS [9,10]. Risk posed by a UAS is driven by its concept of operations (ConOps), more so than for conventionally piloted aircraft (CPA) whose ConOps is assumed to be the point-to-point transport of goods or persons [5].…”

This paper discusses results from a recent study that investigates certification requirements for an unmanned rotorcraft performing agricultural application operations.The process of determining appropriate requirements using a risk-centric approach revealed a number of challenges that could impact larger UAS standardization efforts. Fundamental challenges include selecting the correct level of abstraction for requirements to permit design flexibility, transforming human-centric operational requirements to aircraft airworthiness requirements, and assessing all hazards associated with the operation.
