GM1 Article 10(6) UAS flight authorisation service

ED Decision 2022/022/R

ARRANGEMENTS IN CASE OF CONFLICTING UAS FLIGHT AUTHORISATION REQUESTS

(a)     To ensure the interoperability of USSPs that provide flight authorisation services and resolve potential conflicts, USSPs may follow ASTM F3548-21 ‘Standard Specification for UAS Service Supplier (USS) Interoperability’.

(b)     When duly demonstrated to the competent authority that the following mechanism can be safely implemented, if during operations any USSP fails entirely and cannot support strategic coordination, the arrangement among the USSPs may establish service levels and allow other USSPs to plan over accepted flights managed by the USSP that has failed. In that regard, the terms and conditions associated with the flight should incorporate provisions to deal with that specific case.
