GM1 Article 10(2) UAS flight authorisation service ED Decision 2022/022/R UAS FLIGHT AUTHORISATION PROCESS (a) The UAS flight authorisation service is a conflict resolution mechanism and authorises flights that are free of intersection with other flight authorisations. (b) The UAS flight authorisation request describes the flight trajectory as a series of one or more 4D volumes expressed in height (base, ceiling), longitudinal and lateral limits, and duration (entry and exit times). Each dimension includes the uncertainties of the flight, e.g. earliest possible entry, latest possible exit. (c) The detection of conflict is performed considering the planned 4D trajectories of the flights with the deviation thresholds added. (d) The flight authorisation service ensures that the trajectory does not conflict with a no-fly zone and warns if the flight enters a restricted area. (e) The UAS flight authorisation service describes a 4D trajectory typically in terms of height, length, width, and duration, and ensures that the trajectory does not conflict with a no-fly zone. (f) The performance required is primarily driven by considering separation assurance and collision avoidance.
