London-headquartered insurance provider Global Aerospace via its partnership with the Unmanned Safety Institute (USI), is offering a manual providing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The “Visual Line of Sight SOP” outlines general operating procedures for a UAS. However, the manual is available only to qualified Global Aerospace customers. 
USI is a subsidiary company of Waypoint Global Strategies, which is a program partner of Global Aerospace’s SM4 safety program (<a href="http://www.global-aero.com/programs/sm4-safety/).">SM4 Safety</a>).
Representatives of Global Aerospace, Waypoint Global Strategies and the Unmanned Safety Institute are available at Global’s booth during Heli-Expo 2015.

News and issues relating to civil and military unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) of all kinds and sizes, including those used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), combat (unmanned combat air vehicles, or UCAVs), law enforcement, research and other applications. Of particular focus is the FAA's planned integration of UAS into the U.S. national airspace system.
