AFR ConOps: How Automated Flight Rules Will Transform Aviation
Modern aviation has operated under two main modes for nearly a century: Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). While these modes have enabled aviation’s safe growth, they weren’t designed to accommodate highly automated aircraft with advanced capabilities like detect-and-avoid systems and advanced mission management automation. Automated Flight Rules (AFR) are designed to […]
Boeing, SkyGrid, and Wisk Unveil Concept of Operations for Automated Flight Rules
Revealed at the CANSO Airspace Asia Pacific Conference in Hong Kong, the AFR Concept of Operations outlines a concept for a new mode of operation designed to safely scale highly automated and uncrewed flight. As the global aviation ecosystem rapidly evolves, driven by advanced automation, emerging aircraft types, and increasing airspace complexity, Boeing, SkyGrid, […]
