ED Decision 2020/022/R
GENERAL
For the purpose of granting privileges to LUC applicants, the competent authority may apply a gradual approach. Depending on the UAS operator’s past safety performance and safety record over a defined period of time (e.g. the previous 6 months), the competent authority may expand the scope of the UAS operator’s privileges.
The gradual approach should not be understood as preventing the competent authority from granting privileges with a greater scope to a first-time LUC applicant who has an adequate structure and competent personnel, an effective safety management system and has demonstrated a good compliance disposition.
For operations that are conducted at SAIL III and IV, and to facilitate harmonisation among EASA Member States, EASA recommends that the competent authority always requires LUC holders to use a UAS with an EASA TC.
