AIRSPACE RISK ASSESSMENT — CHECKLIST TEMPLATE

For the purpose of conducting an airspace risk assessment, Member States may wish to use a checklist for different types of environments for which hazards and impacts may be considered when performing an airspace risk assessment (the following list is not exhaustive):
