GM1 Article 6(3) UAS operators ED Decision 2022/022/R UAS OPERATORS — SORA AND AIR RISK CLASS Even if operations are intended to be performed in U-space airspace, the specific operations risk assessment (SORA) should still be carried out as per [Regulation (EU) 2019/947](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32019R0947&qid=1705597645584). Regarding the evaluation of the air risk, UAS operators are entitled to take credit for their SORA of the residual air risk class (ARC) determined through the U-space airspace risk assessment as per [AMC1 to Article 3(4)](#_DxCrossRefBm1226740001) of [Regulation (EU) 2021/664](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021R0664&qid=1705592753946). The Member State that designates the U-space airspace may define additional, more demanding performance requirements than the tactical mitigations performance requirements (TMPR), otherwise the U-space airspace performance requirements are less demanding and UAS operators should consider whichever is the most stringent. The UAS operator should demonstrate to the competent authority with sufficient evidence that it fulfils the U-space performance requirements or the required TMPR as per the SORA application, whichever is the most demanding.
