Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) need to be able to comply with the Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 ‘see and avoid’ requirement. Detect and avoid (DAA) is an essential enabler for integrating UAS into the National Airspace System. A DAA system is a suite of sensors, trackers, and alerting and guidance algorithms that assists a remote pilot in maintaining separation from airborne traffic. Previous works have focused on operations transiting to and from Class A or special use airspace. More recent efforts have defined DAA system requirements for operations in and around the airport terminal environment. In continuation of this effort, this paper defines the DAA Terminal Area (DTA) size and switching technique for the DAA Well Clear (DWC) volume while transitioning between en route and the terminal area.
