Abstract
Early remotely-piloted aircraft system (RPAS) development focused on simple reconnaissance to obtain information by visual observation for military demands. Currently, various types of remotely-piloted aircraft (RPA) is being developed worldwide for applications in many different areas. As RPA avionics are combined with CNS/ATM technologies, RPA capabilities will be enhanced and the market is expected to grow rapidly. ICAO has been held the Air Navigation Commission on 14 October 2011 to discuss revising Procedures for air navigation services (PANS) and guidance material related to RPA and their associated systems. It progressed that Annex 2 and 7 will be revised and came into effect from 2012. However most of incorporate revisions are not clear yet. Because the revision articles recommend follow requirements of the state(s). Considering operations of RPA in controlled airspace and between adjacent states, the qualification and training of RPA pilot will be one of the main issues for RPA operation. In this paper, we will take a look at international and domestic trends of regulation framework in ICAO and RPA advanced country in chapter 2.1 and suggest about consideration of remote pilot qualification and training for establishing regulations of remote pilot license.
