EASA Director: Align UAM Noise, Safety Levels
EASA executive director Patrick Ky told the European Parliament's transport committee that stakeholders need to agree drone noise and safety levels.

European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) executive director Patrick Ky sees no need to develop a comprehensive set of worldwide standards for unmanned aircraft as their use is “very local.” However, in a meeting with the transport committee of the European Parliament this week he urged all stakeholders to agree on what the acceptable level of noise and the targeted level of safety is for autonomously operated aircraft flying in urban environments.
