RAeS – the cutting edge since 1866; Or can drones redefine aviation safety?

Written by Aviation Advocacy on . Posted in Air navigation service providers, Air traffic management, Drones and UAVs, Safety

That most venerable of aviation institutions, the Royal Aeronautical Society of the UK, has a remarkable history. It was established 37 years before the first heavier than air flight. Talk about cutting edge. So perhaps it is no surprise that in the area of drones too, the RAeS is at the forefront. Even more commendably, it is using drones to review and consider that most entrenched topic in aviation: safety regulation. That is close to heresy in the aviation industry, which is all the more reason to question it, and all the more reason to commend an organisation with ‘R’ for ‘Royal’ in its name for doing so. Safety is improved when we question what is happening, not merely comply. Sadly, that has too often not been the case.
