SkyGrid’s Concept of Operations lays the foundation for integrating Advanced Air Mobility into the global airspace system, supporting both crewed and uncrewed missions in urban and regional environments.
Providing a high-fidelity digital representation of the airspace for pre-flight and in-flight decision-making.
Ensuring uncrewed aircraft can satisfy remain-well-clear requirements with high-assurance traffic awareness tools.
Delivering flight planning solutions based on forecast and real-time airspace insights.
Enabling scalability by minimizing the need for Air Traffic Control (ATC) intervention.
For a more detailed look at how we support the airspace integration of AAM — from pre-flight planning to in-flight decision-making — read our Concept of Operations for Third-Party Services Supporting the Airspace Integration of Advanced Air Mobility and discover the roadmap to a safer, scalable, and more accessible aviation future.
As airspace and aircraft automation mature, the industry is moving toward a third operating paradigm, one that complements Visual and Instrument Flight Rules rather than replacing them. Automated Flight Rules (AFR) leverage automation across aircraft, airspace, and aerodromes to safely scale both crewed and uncrewed operations, building on the digital decision-support capabilities outlined in our Concept of Operations above. Explore how SkyGrid and our partners are shaping this vision below.
Proposes a new ruleset for automated flight, including the Class X airspace concept, automated traffic management services, and a phased path to regulatory integration.
Applies the AFR concept specifically to UAM, addressing how automation enables the airspace- and aerodrome-scale UAM operations it requires.
SkyGrid’s Concept of Operations represents a collaborative vision for the future of AAM. We invite your feedback and partnership as we refine and expand our solutions.
