Online occurrence reporting
The ECCAIRS European Reporting Portal is intended to promote safe practice and has been established to receive detailed reports when an issue occurs during a drone flight. A new way to report occurrences A press release from the CAA had this to say about the changes:
"The reporting portal is a good source of information for all members of the aviation community involved in improving safety. There are links to applicable legislation and guidance material covering the reporting of occurrence reports and useful leaflets with advice on what to report tailored to different sections of the community."An online form seems like the smartest way to streamline the process, allowing drone pilots across Europe to collaborate and use the information gathered to develop fair legislation on UAV usage.
Drones in the news
With an increasing focus on drones and their safe usage by the media, it's interesting to see that one of the options on the new online form reads:'Did the occurence involve a runway incursion?'This option didn't appear on the original form and is likely a reaction to the well-publicised incidents involving consumer drones flying too close to, and in one instance colliding with, passenger planes in the UK.
