Description / Abstract:
This specification covers requirements for the design and
performance of airborne sense-and-avoid (SA) systems. This
specification includes requirements to support detection of, and
safe separation from, airborne objects such as manned or unmanned
aircraft and air vehicles.
This specification applies to the manufacturer of an appliance
seeking civil aviation authority approval, in the form of flight
certificates, flight permits, or other like documentation, as
providing an equivalent level of safety to the see-andavoid
capability of a human pilot.
This specification is not intended to apply to the design and
performance of cooperative SA systems. Existing standards and
guidance should be referenced for specifications describing these
transponder or broadcast-based systems (examples of existing
guidance and standards for cooperative SA systems include FAA
20-131A, RTCA DO-289, and TSO-C119B).
This specification does not apply to appliances on-board one or
more airborne objects flying in formation flight.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
