“…Air Traffic Control The Netherlands (LVNL), in cooperation with Dutch Drone Delta, has conducted a successful trial during which air traffic control instructions were issued to a drone pilot via the Altitude Angel developed GoDrone app.  The test took place in the controlled airspace around Rotterdam – The Hague Airport, and were supervised by the control tower. The aim of the test was for LVNL to gain knowledge and experience in order to further develop an operational UTM (unified traffic management) system for managing unmanned aircraft, which will eventually make it possible to provide an ‘air traffic control’ platform for drone operations. The test system used in the trial was able to visualise the planned flight area, monitor the flight path of the reported drone flights in real time, issue and revoke clearances and instructions, and provide air traffic information to the drone pilot. The drone pilot was able to confirm the clearances and instructions via the GoDrone app. This made it possible for air traffic controllers to guide drones during their flight...”
