ED Decision 2022/002/R
DATA QUALITY
When establishing UAS geographical zones, the Member States may require specific data quality requirements based on the purpose and location of a given zone.
Example 1
If a UAS geographical zone is of relevance to manned aviation (e.g. U-space or zones established according to Article 15(2)) of the UAS Regulation, it should, as far as practicable, comply with the data quality requirements applicable to prohibited/restricted/danger areas included in Appendix 1 ‘Aeronautical data catalogue’ to Annex III (Part-ATM/ANS.OR) to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/373[152].
Example 2
If a UAS geographical zone is relevant to UAS operations only, for example, over terrain that contains one of the infrastructures or areas/zones listed below, the MS may adapt the data quality requirements (e.g. accuracy) defined in Appendix 1 ‘Aeronautical data catalogue’ to Annex III (Part‑ATM/ANS.OR) to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/373 to the peculiarities of UAS operations:
— highways, express ways, and roads,
— railroads,
— hospitals,
— artworks,
— rural and urban areas,
— local restrictions to reduce noise, climate, and nature impact,
— nature parks,
— reserved areas,
— populated areas,
— bridges,
— critical sites,
— secure areas,
— electrical power lines,
— zones forbidden for aerial photography,
— harbour areas,
— industrial areas,
— emergency drone zones (e.g. areas for stacking or emergency landings in the event of traffic conflicts or equipment failure).
