Abstract:
With the increasing civil aviation passengers and the rapid development of aviation logistics, the study on remotely piloted operation (RPO) mode has received extensive attention. RPO mode constructs the piloting decision-making mode which involves the tripartite collaboration among airborne automatic/autonomous system, remote ground-based crews and air traffic control. In this paper, we describe the organizing architecture for commercial remotely piloted aircraft (CRPA) system and its components. Compared with the current operation mode, the new air-ground collaborative decision-making mode has been established with six different situations based on the type of the flight and the condition of the remote pilot. Taking airport surface operation as an experimental example, we model the airport surface operation process and compare the advantages and disadvantages between RPO mode and the current dual-pilot mode from the perspectives of time and operation coverage, and draw conclusions that RPO mode can basically cover the flight operations of the dual-pilot, improve the accuracy of pilot operations and greatly reduce response time by 48% in pre-flight inspection. The above research would be the foundation for the RPO development of commercial aircraft in China.
