Crew Management & Flight Operations: How Technology Is Supporting a Changing Landscape

June 12, 2019

Few industries have seen the rapid growth and change of the aviation market over the past few decades. Subject to high levels of regulation and scrutiny-as well as unpredictable fluctuations in the market-airlines have had to constantly shift and adapt their technology strategies in order to maintain their (frequently thin) profit margins. Technology has improved the planes themselves, allowing fewer pilots on longer trips. But challenges remain, and nowhere is the need for improving the systems that support these airlines more apparent than in two key areas: Crew Management and Flight Operations.

The economic, environmental, health, societal and safety benefits associated with the application of drone technologies are starting to be experienced in the UK, but the full potential of their use is yet to be realised. Flying uncrewed aircraft - ‘drones’ - beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) of their pilots, creates advantage in numerous applications including health care delivery, search and rescue, connection of remote communities, Infrastructure inspection, removal of people from safety risk in industrial settings, and environmental monitoring.

A ROADMAP FOR FLIGHT AUTOMATION IN ADVANCED AIR MOBILITY

whitePaper | January 31, 2022

Skyroads AG, Munich, Germany is developing, testing and implementing an Automated Airspace Management and Vehicle Guidance System (AAVS). It is abundantly clear that a system which helps guide complex, three-dimensional traffic in congested airspace will be needed soon. Legacy ATC systems are not able to support the urban transport mode. Legislators and regulators are expecting the industry to supply solutions. Skyroads is the first company world-wide to make a comprehensive proposal. Fundamental considerations for this solution are found in our previous White Paper “Air Traffic Control for Urban Air Mobility”. The operational tasks to be solved are widely acknowledged within the current deliberations by the industry and the rulemaking bodies.
