Under what condition may a UAS operation continue during an emergency response effort in the operational area?

The UAS operation may continue only if it was explicitly authorised by the responsible emergency response services.

What are the two key risks to emergency response services that the UAS operator must avoid when an emergency response effort is in the operational area?

The UAS operator must avoid interfering with, or endangering, the activities of the emergency response services.

According to GM2 UAS.OPEN.060(3) and UAS.SPEC.060(3)(e), what is the default action for a UAS operation when an emergency response effort is taking place in the operational area?

The default action is to immediately discontinue the UAS operation unless it was explicitly authorised by the responsible emergency response services.

What privacy obligation does the UAS operator have regarding persons involved in an emergency event?

The UAS operator should protect the privacy rights of persons involved in the emergency event.

Q: What should a remote pilot do if an emergency response effort is taking place in the operational area of their UAS?

The UAS operation should be immediately discontinued unless it was explicitly authorised by the responsible emergency response services. Otherwise, a safe distance must be maintained between the UA and the emergency response site so that the UA does not interfere with, or endanger, the activities of the emergency response services.

Q: What must the UAS operator do to avoid interfering with emergency response services if the operation is not discontinued?

The UAS operator must maintain a safe distance between the UA and the emergency response site so that the UA does not interfere with, or endanger, the activities of the emergency response services.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE EFFORT

When there is an emergency response effort taking place in the operational area of a UAS, the UAS operation should be immediately discontinued unless it was explicitly authorised by the responsible emergency response services. Otherwise, a safe distance must be maintained between the UA and the emergency response site so that the UA does not interfere with, or endanger, the activities of the emergency response services. The UAS operator should take particular care to not hinder possible aerial support and to protect the privacy rights of persons involved in the emergency event.
