Abstract

During recent years Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s) have been used in more and more versatile ways, both in the military and civilian life. Their use in certain fields of aviation is expanding rapidly. At present practically all organizations, authorities and working groups involved in aviation safety and flight safety consider this specific set of instruments technology study it’s regulatory and safety aspects and issues related to its use. The aim of our study group, within the consortium project, was a comprehensive research into the conditions of the national use of unmanned aerial vehicles from the perspective of air traffic safety.
