Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) and Manned Traffic near John Wayne Airport (KSNA) Spot Check of the SUAS Facility Map: Towards a New Paradigm for Drone Safety Near Airports

Peter J. Burke    

Resumen

Using data from an Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADSB) aggregator, a custom data-mining program was developed to identify all manned aircraft below 500' AGL within 5 miles of the KSNA airport on six specific days in 2018?2019. The data (a spot check) show that several of the zero-foot grids are well outside of the traffic pattern, with no manned aircraft below 500' AGL for at least a mile. Detailed maps showing all the traffic on those days are overlaid on the KSNA UAS facility map for comparison. This data-driven safety analysis is outlined as a new paradigm for drone safety near airports, which can be applied worldwide.
