• ED Decision 2019/021/R found in: Unmanned Aircraft Systems (2019/947 and 2019/945) Part-UAS (Jul 2024)

GM1 UAS.OPEN.030(1) and UAS.OPEN.040(1) UAS operations in subcategories A1 and A3 ED Decision 2019/021/R DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUB-CATEGORIES A2 AND A3 Subcategory A2 addresses operations during which flying close to people is intended for a significant portion of the flight. The minimum distance ranges from 30 m to 5 m from uninvolved people. 5 m is only allowed when there is an active low-speed mode function on the UA, and the remote pilot has conducted an evaluation of the situation regarding the weather, the performance of the UA and the segregation of the overflown area. Sub-category A3 addresses operations that are conducted in an area (hereafter referred to as ‘the area’) where the remote pilot reasonably expects that no uninvolved people will be endangered within the range of the unmanned aircraft where it is flown during the mission. In addition, the operation must be conducted at a safe horizontal distance of at least 150 m from residential, commercial, industrial or recreational areas. ##### GM1 UAS.OPEN.030(1) and UAS.OPEN.040(1)  UAS operations in subcategories A1 and A3 *ED Decision 2019/021/R* **DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUB-CATEGORIES A2 AND A3** Subcategory A2 addresses operations during which flying close to people is intended for a significant portion of the flight.
