GM1 UAS.SPEC.030(2) Application for an operational authorisation

• ED Decision 2022/002/R found in: Unmanned Aircraft Systems (2019/947 and 2019/945) Part-UAS (Jul 2024)

GM1 UAS.SPEC.030(2) Application for an operational authorisation ED Decision 2022/002/R APPLICATION FORM FOR AN OPERATIONAL AUTHORISATION Depending on the level of the risk of the operation, the technical characteristics of the UAS may play an important role in mitigating the risk. In that case, the UAS operator may provide additional information to the NAA on the characteristics of the UAS to be operated. The NAA will, in any case, ask for additional data when needed. As an example regarding how to structure the additional information, the UAS operator may supplement the application for the authorisation with the additional elements shown below. Elements from the example may be added or removed as required. <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="602"><tr><td colspan="4" valign="top" width="368"><p>LANDING GEAR </p></td><td colspan="2" valign="top" width="234"><p> yes no </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" valign="top" width="149"><p>Type</p></td><td colspan="4" valign="top" width="453"><p> Fixed Retractable Other</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" valign="top" width="149"><p>Characteristics</p></td><td colspan="4" valign="top" width="453"><p> Wheels Skids Legs Other</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>CONSPICUITY CHARACTERISTICS (2)</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Paint (1):</p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="85"><p>Lights (2)</p></td><td colspan="2" valign="top" width="236"><p> yes no </p></td><td colspan="3" valign="top" width="281"><p>Intensity: </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Aircraft visibility lights:</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Control lights (flight mode or alert indicators, etc.):</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>PROPULSION (3)</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p> Electrical Combustion Hybrid Other </p><p>Description:</p><p>Note: Provide a brief description (for example, push/pull systems, coaxial systems in the case of multirotors, combined systems, etc.).</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>SYSTEMS</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p> Propellers Turbines Other </p><p> Description:</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p><b>Control and/or positioning system</b><b>(4)</b></p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>FLIGHT CONTROLLER (5)</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Manufacturer: Model:</p><p>Description:</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>FLIGHT TERMINATION SYSTEM (6)</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Description:</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>FLIGHT MODES (7)</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Description:</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>GROUND CONTROL STATION (8)</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Radio emitter:</p><p>Manufacturer: Model:</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Mobile/computer application:</p><p>Manufacturer: Model:</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Other:</p><p>Manufacturer: Model:</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>CONTROL COMMUNICATION LINK</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Description (frequency): </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="5" valign="top" width="372"><p>TELEMETRY COMMUNICATION LINK</p></td><td valign="top" width="229"><p> yes no </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Description (frequency):</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="5" valign="top" width="372"><p>VIDEO SYSTEM COMMUNICATION LINK (FPV)</p></td><td valign="top" width="229"><p> yes no </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Description (frequency):</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="5" valign="top" width="372"><p>PAYLOAD COMMUNICATION LINK</p></td><td valign="top" width="229"><p> yes no </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Description (frequency):</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="5" valign="top" width="372"><p>PAYLOAD (9)</p></td><td valign="top" width="229"><p> yes no </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>TYPE</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p> Fixed Interchangeable</p><p>Description:</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>OPERATION LIMITS (10)</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Maximum operating height:</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Max airspeed: </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>Weather conditions:</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>SAFETY SYSTEMS/SAFETY NETS AND AWARENESS (11)</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p><b>DETECT AND AVOID </b> yes no </p><p>Description: </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p><b>GEO-FENCING OR GEO-CAGING </b> yes no </p><p>Description: </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p><b>TRANSPONDER </b> yes no </p><p>Description: </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p><b>SYSTEMS FOR LIMITING IMPACT ENERGY </b> yes no </p><p>Description: </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6" valign="top" width="602"><p>OTHER</p><p>Description: </p></td></tr><tr height="0"></tr></table> (1) PAINT Describe any painted elements that are visible (marks) and significant (colour, shape, etc.).
