How Will European Drone Regulation Impact UTM, U Space and Enterprise Fleet Management?
On-demand Webinar | Free
Establishing and implementing a framework for pan-European drone regulations has been a priority for many years, and the legal and technical framework for this ecosystem is more defined than ever in 2021. However, questions remain about how this framework and ecosystem will continue to evolve and what that will mean for commercial operators across the continent. How are UTM and U Space systems being defined as part of new drone regulations? What does it mean to operate BVLOS from a regulatory perspective? What do risks and potential failures look like in this ecosystem? How are performance requirements further defining regulation and what it will mean to operate a commercial drone fleet?
This webinar will present a summary of the current regulatory environment across the continent and provide attendees with a sense of how they can take the next step in the development of a commercial drone program, regardless of how far along they are in that process.

Mariya Tarabanovska, Co-Founder, Flight Crowd
Mariya Tarabanovska is an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) advisor with a traditional Engineering education, a passion for STEM volunteering and outreach as well as a background in Art and Design.
Mariya’s first degree was Product Design gained from Central Saint Martins College, the University of the Arts London. It made her always want to explore the aspects of Design and Technology where exciting innovation brings both together.
Her most recent Masters of Aerospace Engineering (Hons) degree from the University of Manchester, on the other hand, helped her better understand the difficulties as well as the opportunities one can find in the aviation industry. It also led to Mariya getting involved in shaping the fast-developing and very promising Urban Air Mobility industry set to revolutionise the ways in which we live and travel. Through her numerous involvements in the field ranging from market research to flight testing and eVTOL implementation scenarios development, Miss Tarabanovska is now leading Flight Crowd, an open Urban Air Mobility community set to educate the public on the topic of vertical mobility and inspire future generations to consider a career in UAM.
Mariya believes that 21st century Aerospace professionals should aim to shape an accessible, sustainable, and safe future of mobility and transportation, and is very excited about the potential benefits that UAM and other future flight technologies will bring to the world.
