Abstract: Safety and security concerns play a key role during
the design of civil UAs (aircraft controlled by a pilot who is not onboard
it) by the producers and the offer of different services by the
operators. At present, European countries have fragmented
regulations about the manufacture and use of civil drones, therefore
the European institutions are trying to approach all these regulations
into a common one. In this sense, not only law but also ethics can
give guidelines to the industry in order to obtain better reports from
their clients. With our results, we would like to give advice to the
European industry, as well as give new insights to the academia and
policymakers.
