Supporting Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)

• This is an opportunity to be proactive with AAM, as it’s not deployed yet.

This has been coming up again and again with AI, and I am finding that it's important to take a principle based approach. Relating scenarios back to principles makes it easier to evaluate options and make decisions.

The World Economic Forum's principles are clear, meaningful, and relatable; which is excellent for real world application: https://www.weforum.org/publications/principles-of-the-urban-sky/principles-of-the-urban-sky/

Also, I love how Clint Harper described the Pillars of the FAA's focus: (airspace, aircraft, operations, infrastructure, community), and how the FAA governs differently in those pillars. the first three are regulation driven, second two are a shared focus.

I think that is a useful framework for bifurcating the topic into meaningful components.

My only other thought for now is that I wonder if we can consider policy though the lens of user based use cases. For example,

• "I am a planner, and I want to have access to node to node air transit data according to specific criteria, in a privacy preserving format that maintains fidelity for decision evaluation."
• "I am a parent, and I want to make sure that my children can play in parks and playground without fear of surveillance, and free from noise"
• "I'm a community member with concerns or good ideas, and I want to have a forum for recourse or to contribute to planning."
• "I'm purchasing a house and I want to know how much air traffic is allowed in corridors near my house, and what their schedules are."
• "I'm a landlord and I want to know if I am authorized to use emergency response vehicles to respond to situations such as high rise flooding, or broken windows, so that I can quickly ensure the safety of people in and around my building in the event of an emergency."

Maybe these are good examples, and maybe not. But thinking though specific situations helps illuminate where flexibility and inflexibility is necessary in the absence of lived experience and evidence.
