ED Decision 2022/022/R

UAS EMERGENCY STATUS

Certain UAS capabilities may not be available as from 26 January 2023, the date on which Regulation (EU) 2021/664 will become applicable. Regarding the identification of the UAS emergency status as per Article 8(2)(f) of Regulation (EU) 2021/664, and to compensate for the potential lack of automatic transmission of the information, it is considered an acceptable alternative for UAS operators to:

(a)     continuously monitor the UAS behaviour, and when implemented, the built-in safety parameters or emergency status;

(b)     manually trigger the UAS emergency status toward the USSP.

The proposed alternative is considered acceptable until 1 year after the date of entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2021/664, i.e. 26 January 2024.
