This is a media curation page for the PIRatE Lab's AARR Program.  We are developing practical, low cost programs to monitor resources in our coastal zone (the land near the ocean and the ocean near the land) with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs aka "drones") overhead and subtidal Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) .  Enjoy!!

China Plans to Launch Airworthiness Certification System for Drones

China Plans to Launch Airworthiness Certification System for Drones | Remotely Piloted Systems | Scoop.it
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) plans to launch a risk-based airworthiness management system for drones by the end of 2019.
Tyler Kacerek's insight:
China is looking to certify drones and have a certification scale based on flight risk factors loosely based on manned aerial vehicles.
