RESPONSIBILITY WITH REGARD TO THE PREVENTION OF MID-AIR COLLISION
(a) UAS operators are ultimately responsible for the safety of their flights, for meeting the U-space airspace operational constraints, and for ensuring separation or spacing from other manned and unmanned traffic.
(b) This responsibility cannot be transferred to USSPs nor to ANSPs. Neither is authorised to give instructions such as ‘climb’, ‘hold’, etc., to UAS operators; neither is charged with the responsibility to provide conflict resolution advisories, and neither is charged with the responsibility to separate unmanned aircraft from other traffic, other than the USSPs that provide flight authorisation services and ATC units that implement dynamic airspace reconfiguration.
(c) U-space services support the effective decision-making of UAS operators by providing as soon as possible the relevant traffic information to the relevant UAS operators while protecting the integrity and confidentiality of the data originating from manned or unmanned aircraft.
(d) Traffic information is not common information, and the exchange of traffic information does not involve the single CIS provider — except when ATSPs provide the relevant traffic information regarding manned aircraft in U-space airspace established in controlled airspace, as laid down in point ATS.OR.127 of Regulation (EU) 2017/373 amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/665.
UAS operators retain full responsibility for flight safety, separation, and adherence to U-space constraints. U-space service providers offer traffic information to aid operator decisions, protecting data integrity. Conflict resolution and separation duties remain with the operator, except for flight authorization services or dynamic airspace changes.
