AMC1 Article 6(7) UAS operators

ED Decision 2022/022/R

FLIGHT AUTHORISATION PLANNING AND DEVIATION THRESHOLD

UAS operators should plan the UAS flight to stay within a planned 4D volume. Flying outside the planned 4D volume is to be an exceptional event for less than 5 % of the time. The size of the volume should allow for gusts of wind and other likely sources that could cause deviation.

When UAS operators do not consider it possible to appropriately perform the flight within the authorised, planned 4D volume, including the deviation threshold, for 95 % of the time (e.g. based on degraded environmental conditions, or operational constraints), they should replan their flight accordingly (e.g. extended boundaries) and request a new UAS flight authorisation.
