A proposal for using UAS in radio navigation aids flight inspection

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to contribute to the inherent necessity of the aerialtransport system to guarantee the safety of its users in an efficient manner. This efficiency isrequired to accomplish the objective of transport people and goods with cost content enoughto allow the access to this system at the biggest number of users. To improve this efficiencywe propose a new paradigm in Flight Inspection Systems. This new paradigm separates theflight inspection platform in two separate segments, remaining in the air segment the strictlyneeded resources, the sensors, by mean of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
