UAS Traffics Management System (UTM)
UAS Traffics Management System : UTM A management system for enabling safe and efficient BVLOS operations in airspace where multiple unmanned aircraft are in operation. This is a system that supports the sharing of information on airspace, flight rules, other unmanned aircraft and manned aircraft, etc., and the avoidance of risks such as collisions in advance. Currently, each country is working on the development of UTM concepts, and demonstrations of UTM concepts are being conducted in collaboration with aviation regulatory…

About Approved Organizations
What is Approved Organizations? Approved Organizations are defined in Article 20 of the Civil Aeronautics Act as a organization that can conduct part or all of the government’s inspections on behalf of the government regarding the design, manufacturing process, and current status of the airworthiness of aircraft and equipment. In order for an organization to be approved, it must be certified by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism that its capabilities in one or two or more of the…

PIO: Pilot Induced Oscillation
About PIO(Pilot Induced Oscillation) A vibration phenomenon that is unintentionally excited by the correlation between the aircraft’s control system and the pilot. This phenomenon has been observed in the Wright Flyer, the first aircraft, and in the latest fighter aircraft (X-36), and in the worst case, it can lead to a crash. Although the name gives the impression that the cause is the pilot, the cause is the aircraft (Flight Control System). PIO is classified into the following four types…

Book Introduction Part 5
Follow me! Use “Artisan Tools” to Squash Design Troubles! -How to use FMEA, FTA and Design Review wisely! Author: Yoshimasa Kunii Publisher: Nikkan Kogyo Shinbunsha The book explains the methods of FMEA/FTA and design review, which are quality control methods, in an easy-to-understand manner. It explains why FMEA/FTA and design review are not so effective despite the fact that they are thoroughly implemented as a means to strengthen quality control. The book also provides simple examples of FMEA/FTA implementation. Standards…

UAS: Pre-coordination in Type Certification
UAS Type Certification Activity: Pre-coordination It is positioned as a preparation for smooth implementation of certification activities. Pre-coordination is a voluntary procedure, but it is advisable to conduct it in order to implement certification activities smoothly. Pre-coordination in Class 1 Type Certification is mainly intended to agree on general practical matters and coordinate the design concept of the aircraft, various standards to be used, an outline of the specifications of the unmanned aircraft, and the policy for proving conformity to…
