This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of a flight operations concept for arn450kg gyroplane UAV, operated in an experimental context. The proposedrnapproach integrates a comprehensive safety concept as well as a clearly defined test procedure, therebyrnforming the foundation for conducting authorized flight testing in compliance with applicable regulatoryrnrequirements.
