The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) confirmed\nits first International Standard for Business Aircraft Operators (IS-BAO)\nRemote Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) registration was achieved this month by\nPhoenix Air Unmanned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RPAS IS-BAO standard option advanced into the open beta\ntesting phase in 2021 after a thorough working group analysis that included\nindustry representatives and IS-BAO Standards Board members. This working group\naddressed the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) RPAS Concept of\nOperations (CONOPS) that is being drafted for inclusion into ICAO Annex 6. The\ngroup continues to gather information from beta operators, which may need to be\nincorporated. The RPAS component may be added by IS-BAO operators who have RPAS\nin their departments or by any stand-alone RPAS operators seeking IS-BAO\nregistration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrew Karas, IS-BAO Program Director, stated, \u201cThe RPAS\nworking group did an outstanding job, and we are grateful for their dedication\nto establishing safety best practices for a rapidly evolving industry. We are\nexcited to launch this standard for the RPAS community and congratulate Phoenix\nAir Unmanned for leading the way and implementing the voluntary IS-BAO safety\nstandard throughout their organization.\u201d \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
