Your unique guide to AAM/UAM regulations, standards, concepts of operation and roadmaps

For the passenger and cargo-carrying advanced and urban air mobility industry around the world one the biggest hurdles to developing a commercially mature eco-system is the challenge of doing so without a clear view of rapidly changing regulations and standards – and an understanding of how these will impact your business plans.

The AAM regulations, standards, CONOPS and roadmaps for passenger-carrying operations Guide gives subscribers an up-to-date view of the regulations and standards being developed around the world – not just by aviation regulators but also by local government bodies wishing to promote or sometimes challenge the development of AAM services in their region.

It also highlights the work of standards organisations around the world, many of them working to harmonise AAM standards while others are in competition.

Each regulation, standard, CONOPS and policy is briefly described then given a source for the original material. This allows readers to quickly search through the maze of global regulations by subject type and understand what has been published and where the gaps and contradictions may be.

The AAM world is complex, with every stakeholder having a different view of what advanced air mobility comprises. To simplify the definition, this Guide focuses on passenger-carrying and large cargo electrically-powered aircraft; drone regulations are not included. Subscribers also benefit from receiving regular updates to the Guide, as new policies are announced.

The Guide breaks down the market into the follow areas:

• AAM Policy, CONOPS and roadmaps
• AI, autonomy
• Airspace management
• eVTOLs and other AAM aircraft, including propulsion systems
• Maintenance
• Vertiports and infrastructure, including charging
• Non-aviation stakeholders

It identifies the key regulations and roadmaps for these areas nationally and internationally.
