Europe’s aviation regulator has proposed a framework for unmanned-aircraft operations with three categories based on risk, the lowest of which would not involve any oversight by aviation authorities. The European Aviation Safety Agency’s (EASA) “Concept of Operations for Drones” says unmanned aircraft “should be regulated in a manner proportionate to the risk of the specific operation.”
The fifth and final test vehicle for the initial CS100 version of Bombardier’s CSeries has begun flying, but additional aircraft will be used in the test program in a bid to meet the target of certification towards the end of the year. Aircraft FTV5, the first CSeries fitted with a finished cabin interior, made its first flight from Mirabel, near Montreal, on March 18, with a second flight on March 19. Firm orders for the CSeries still stand at 243 aircraft, but total commitments including options are now 603.
