CASA’s lead in unmanned aviation – Ticking away or ticking time bomb?
on: July 15, 2012, 09:32

We have been hearing lots of muttering from Australia, here's hoping Patricks article will bring some opinion out of the woodwork.

This piece reflects the sentiments of interested parties from Australia who are involved in the RPAS integration effort. Other were asked to contribute, but declined as they were either content with the work products being produced or, had concerns about being seen as critical of the process. This may or may not become evident to the reader just “who” these folks might be or, are represented in the text of the story.


In the early days of the regulatory process, the community saw CASA as producing onerous guidelines for UAV/S. That was until the February 13th, 2007 edict (here in the U.S.), had set in that regulatory resolution was not imminent. Folks began to take another look at CASA who was seen as leading the way. The onerous bits didn’t just fall off, but at least the bitter pill afforded you a legal avenue for operation.

Well, you saw my comments. I didn't really think it'd be too different.

One Response to Unmanned Aviation Forum

    Hi Patrick,

    I just listened to the podcast episode with Dr. Jerry Lemieux of the Unmanned Vehicle University. While this might have been covered, I was left wondering about actual job opportunities in the UAV industry for the graduates of this school and others that are now offering this special field of education. Until commercial UAV activity gets going in the U.S, where will all of these people work? I’m assuming that the military requirements in terms of needed personnel are already being fairly well met, so this growth in specialized education presumes the emergence of new employment opportunities.

    To someone on the sidelines, this almost seems premature. While it’s nice to fill the pipeline with qualified individuals, I fear that many of these people are getting education for jobs that are well off into the future and that they might end up disillusioned.

    Indeed, how many of those $90K+ jobs in the UAV field really exist at the moment?

    Might be a question for a future podcast episode.

    Thanks,
    Paul
