‘UNSAFE CONDITION’ IN THE CONTEXT OF THE U-SPACE

For the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2021/664, ‘unsafe condition’ may be considered a situation which, due to data error or data alteration (e.g. in case of malicious interactions), a procedure error, or a system excessive response time or malfunction may result (but is not limited to) in the following:

(a)     insufficient separation/spacing, or air proximity between manned and unmanned aircraft within the U-space airspace, which may result in mid-air collision;

(b)     a lack of separation between unmanned aircraft, which may result in mid-air collision leading to an increase of the ground risk;

(c)      an unmanned aircraft exiting the boundaries of the U-space airspace;

(d)     an unmanned aircraft entering a prohibited (no-fly zone) or a restricted access geographical zone (as per Article 15 of Regulation (EU) 2019/947), which could be established within the U‑space airspace.
