The Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Strategic Regulatory Roadmap is part of the Emerging Technologies Program in Australia.
This programme focuses on safely and efficiently integrating emerging aviation technologies and systems into Australia's airspace and civil regulatory framework.
The Roadmap explains the plan for regulating RPAS and AAM over the next ten to 15 years. It sets out Australia’s strategy and planning to safely integrate these technologies into Austral-ia’s airspace and future regulatory system, alongside traditional aviation.
“This policy confirmation by CASA provides a green light for the property development industry to start planning for this revolution in the way we move people and goods,” said Clem Newton-Brown, CEO of Skyportz. “The vertiport infrastructure is the missing piece of the puzzle for this industry. Without new vertiport landing sites in places people want to go, the aircraft will never fulfil their potential”.
Skyportz aims to break the nexus between aviation and airports and enable commercial and industrial property developers to host vertiports. Over 400 property sites have expressed an interest in hosting a vertiport in Australia.
