GM6 Article 15(1) Conditions for obtaining a certificate

ED Decision 2022/022/R

SPECIFICATION OF SERVICES

As per the AMC and GM to Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/664, the acceptable level of safety (ALS) is determined during the airspace risk assessment and materialised upon the U-space airspace definition and the related performance requirements and constraints. These ‘high-level design characteristics’ of the functional system, complemented with those derived from the applicant’s safety assessment form the ‘specification of services’, which is the baseline applicants should use for their safety support assessments alongside the ‘safety support requirements’.

In the absence of established U-space performance requirements and constraints, as per the AMC and GM to Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/664, the applicant should make reasonable assumptions to define a suitable set of performance requirements.

The applicant should demonstrate to the competent authority that the specification is complete and correct with regard to its concept of operations (CONOPS) and safety assessment.
