Correction: Sookram et al. The Conceptualization of an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Ship–Shore Delivery Service for the Maritime Industry of Trinidad. Drones 2021, 5, 76

There was an error in the original publication [1]. Ms. Giatri Lalla’s job title “Director General Civil Aviation” should be changed to “UAS Officer”.

A correction has been made to Discussion, Recommended Resolutions, Paragraph Number Nine:

The proposed UAS weighs 60 kg; considering that the system is limited to a maximum payload of 30 kg to maintain a 30-min flight time, the total weight of the UAV with its payload would be 90 kg. Therefore, the maximum take-off weight of the proposed system would be between 20 kg and 100 kg and would have a maximum forward velocity of up to 40 m per second. Hence, the proposed UAS falls within Category 4 UA of Civil Aviation ((No. 19) Unmanned Aircraft Systems) Regulations 2016. Although hobbyist and photography UASs operate within Trinidad, commercial delivery UASs operations above 750 g are not permitted by TTCAA regulations at this time. The main local challenge, therefore, is the current regulatory framework. In an interview, Ms. Giatri Lalla, UAS Officer at TTCAA, conveyed the following statement: “The Unmanned Aircraft Industry is constantly becoming technological development the State Regulations have to change to include these developments. While the TTCAA is responsible for creating these Regulations, the timeframe is dependent on the country’s legislative bodies”.

Reference number ‘22’ should be changed to: “Lalla, G. An overview of the current No Fly Zones in Trinidad and Tobago, Web Map by glalla_uwi2017. Available online: https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=1c5f093e24594edfacc4ccb76fc98cc4 (accessed on 21 June 2021)”.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
