##### AMC5 Article 11 Rules for conducting an operational risk assessment

*ED Decision 2022/002/R*

**PREDEFINED
RISK ASSESSMENT PDRA-S02 Version 1.1**

**EDITION
January 2022**

(a) Scope

This PDRA addresses the same type of operations that are covered by
the standard scenario STS-02 ([Appendix 1](https://dxweb.easa.europa.eu/dx4/Topics/Part-UAS_AnnexII039.docx)
to the Annex to the UAS Regulation); however, it provides the UAS
operator with the flexibility to use UASs that do not need to be
marked as class C6.

This PDRA addresses UAS operations that are conducted:

(1) with UA with maximum characteristic dimensions (e.g. wingspan,
rotor diameter/area or maximum distance between rotors in case of a
multirotor) of up to 3 m and MTOM of up to 25 kg;

(2) at a distance of up to 2 km from the remote pilot if
airspace observers (AOs) are employed; otherwise at a distance of up
to 1 km;

(3) over a controlled ground area that is entirely located in a
sparsely populated area;

(4) below 150 m above ground level (AGL) (except when close to
obstacles); and

(5) in controlled or uncontrolled airspace, provided that there is a
low probability of encountering manned aircraft[[136]](#_ftn137).

States are required to establish the appropriate measures (e.g. UAS
geographical zones) to ensure this low probability of encounter.
Such low probability of encounter is equivalent to an ARC that is no
higher than ARC-b. Thus, ARC-b is to be considered here as the
highest residual (final) ARC.
