UAC – Logistics – Regional Transportation
According to Centre for Economics & Business
Research (London):
Traffic Jams did cost the industry more than $124b
in 2014 for USA and will cost US & EU more than
$294b from 2030
14. Regional & Local UAC
The most likely Scenario is B2B
From / To:
• Warehouses
• Logistic Centres
• Factories
• Airfields
• Airports
These sites are :
• Regulated to allow only professionals or trained personnel
• Restricted area from the general public
• Have specific EHS regulations and insurances
• Required professionals on site to be trained with personal
protective equipment (PPE)
• Civil & Industrial Risks for assets & people Insured
14
Neva Aerospace – 2016 – UCA Conference
15. Regulatory EU Context
Weight & Air Worthiness Certificates
• Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS)
• Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 mandates the Agency to regulate Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and in
particular Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), when used for civil applications and with an
operating mass of 150 Kg or more.
• Experimental or amateur build RPAS, military and non-military governmental RPAS flights, civil RPAS below
150 Kg as well as model aircraft are regulated by individual Member States of the European Union. Toys,
even if capable of flying but not equipped with internal combustion engine, are subject to Directive
2009/48/EC.
and
• Agency is member of the Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned Systems (JARUS) which is currently
developing recommended requirements for:
– Licensing of remote pilots;
– RPAS operations in Visual Line-of-Sight (VLOS) and beyond (BVLOS);
– Civil RPAS operators and Approved Training Organisations for remote pilots (JARUS-ORG);
– Certification specifications for light unmanned rotorcraft (CS-LURS) and aeroplanes (CS-LURS) below 600 Kg;
– Performance requirements for 'detect and avoid' to maintain the risk of mid-aid collision below a tolerable level of
safety (TLS) and taking into account all actors in the total aviation system;
– Performance requirements for command and control data link, whether in direct radio line-of-sight (RLOS) or beyond
(BRLOS) and in the latter case supported by a Communication Service Provider (COM SP);
– Safety objectives for airworthiness of RPAS ('1309') to minimize the risk of injuries to people on the ground; and
– Processes for airworthiness.

Cost of Delivery vs Quantity of Drones in Fleet
with a Team of 3 Pilots(*) (Package Delivery Cost)
Drones in Fleet Costs per Deliveries
Assumptions:
• 50Km travel
• Inbound Full & Return Empty
• Delivery of 25KG to 50KG packages
• Cost of a drone: 600K€
• Cost of Hourly Pilot: 60€/hr
Results
• From €4/Km to €2.8/km
• €0.27 Kg.Km (€270 TKm)
(@3pilots.20Drones)
From 2 to 4 times higher than Trucks(**)
but Trucks hidden cost not accounted
for: Traffic Jam, Idle Time, Waiting time,
rest time, Accident rate, Driver’s default,
etc..
Key Points for UAC:
• No Traffic Jam
• 24/7 Operations
• Hybrid / Fully Electrical
• Aircraft Accident low
• RPAS Team of Pilots (24/7)
• Fleet of Drones
Neva Aerospace – 2016 – UCA Conference
Neva-UAC-Scenario-Economics-Methodology-V0.3
(*) first point calculated with 1 drone & 2 pilots
(**)“Average cost for trucks obtained from the model is $0.64/km. That is very close to the average cost from the survey of $0.69/km.
Average cost per truckload is about $250 per truckload in the survey and $232 from the model. Marginal cost per truckload is $6.51 and
marginal cost per kilometer is $0.65” from Operating Costs for Trucks David Levinson*, Michael Corbett, Maryam Hashami

20. Neva Aerospace – 2016 – UCA Conference
V –RPAS, Logistic Business & UAC
20
21. Changes in the
Businesses
• We are at the very beginning of a new era:
– Logistic companies will be able to have 24/7
operations with fleets of drones running at all times
– Air Traffic Control will have to deal with an increase of
RPAS traffic, certification and interactions with IFR &
VFR Traffic.
– Pilots syndicates will have to come up with guidelines
– Air Safety Agencies will need to work out new
procedures for civilian UAC RPAS emergency
procedures.
21
Neva Aerospace – 2016 – UCA Conference
22. UAC Business Model
Team of Pilots
with a Fleet of Drones
• The business model implies a Team of Pilots with
a Fleet of Drones. This in turn implies:
– New ways of handling relation with Air Traffic Control
– New ways for the pilots to work together (RPAS
Centers and Emergency procedures & Training)
– New systems for data management (IS near Real Time
platform with Multi-channel connection: SatCom,
Radio, 3G/4G, ….) for Pilot Centers and link to ATC
– Link(s) to Datalink (CPDLC)…
22
Neva Aerospace – 2016 – UCA Conference
23. Regulator’s Approval
• The business model implies approval from the
regulator & Reviews:
– RPAS IFR Instruments within UAV
– VTOL airworthiness certification : light airplanes and/or
helicopters or both ?
– IFR Approval on BRLOS for UAV of 150Kg and more
– Systems redundancies ( how many ?)
– All-Time communication for emergency purpose (SATCOM)
(bandwidth ?)
– Communication System issue: Link(s) to Datalink
(CPDLC)…(Pilots-To-Air-Control)
– Transponder – ADS B (?)
– Going IFR through unregulated airspace : segregated
corridors, adapting VFR procedures ? 23
25. Summary
• The beginning of a new era: Unmanned Air Cargo
– Logistic companies will be able to have 24/7
operations with teams of pilots based
– Air Traffic Control will have to set specific rules and
routes (?) for UAC traffic and certification of UAC
vehicles, as well Rules for UAC on IFR & VFR Airspace
transit will be needed
– Pilots will have to work in teams managing fleet of
heavy drones (from 10 to 20 at any time)
– Pilot team work procedure and civilian UAC emergency
procedures will have to be devised. 25
