FF2020 aims to contribute to the scalability of UAM in a European setting. At this moment, it is not yet possible to easily set up, monitor, and arrange manned and unmanned flights above built and populated areas, as well as to adopt business models that integrate Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations in the cities. Therefore, cities, government organisations and operators cannot yet make a financial business case.

The training activities are developed considering the objectives and key results of the FF2020 project:

• Objective 1: Ease the integration of UAM into the legal and regulatory framework.
  Key Result 1 (KR1): A regulatory framework for UAM based on a solid ground of regulations in power to be presented as input for future European legislation, directives and standards.
  
  
• Objective 2: Enable the interoperability of the geospatial digital UAM infrastructure across cities.
  Key Result 2 (KR2): A universal geospatial digital infrastructure to support the open marketplace principles in which governments and businesses can work together on UAM solutions for EU cities.
  
  
• Objective 3: Ensure control with the provision of a governance model, interoperability frameworks and an IDoT (Identity of Things) scheme.
  Key Result 3 (KR3): An operational governance framework to facilitate and ensure that legislation and technical frameworks are working properly to secure the footprint, which helps cities to monitor and steer UAS safely.
  
  
• Objective 4: Facilitate the implementation of UAM services in cities and ecosystems based on European principles.
  Key Result 4 (KR4): A technology-agnostic service layer to help cities and ecosystems implement frameworks quickly and effectively and ensure interoperability.
  
  
• Objective 5: Identify strategies and foster replicability and scalability.
  Key Result 5 (KR5): A practical methodology for implementation based on the principle of learning by doing.
  
  
• Objective 6: Provide open access to project results to promote knowledge transfer within the Urban Air Mobility ecosystem.
  Key Result 6 (KR6): A sustainable plan for the sustainability and awareness of the project results.
