AMC1 Article 3(4) U-space airspace requirements ED Decision 2022/022/R U-SPACE AIRSPACE — DESIGN, OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS AND CONSTRAINTS Considering [Annex I](#_DxCrossRefBm1226739980) to [Regulation (EU) 2021/664](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021R0664&qid=1704885145391), Member States should establish and provide the U‑space airspace definition, encompassing: (a) the geographical limits of the area where the U-space airspace is designated; (b) the internal airspace structure (e.g. airspace blocks with their maximum and minimum size, subject to activation/deactivation); (c) the UAS geographical zones defined in Article 15 of [Regulation (EU) 2019/947](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32019R0947&qid=1704885029791), which could be encompassed within the U-space airspace. Furthermore, Member States should define the U-space airspace operational conditions and constraints: (a) for U-space airspace designated in controlled airspace, the means and procedures to disseminate information regarding dynamic airspace reconfiguration; (b) the potential pre-established contingency or emergency procedures; (c) the weather limitations, in terms of maxima or minima for important meteorological parameters (e.g. maximum gust, and visibility minimum, temperature minimum); (d) the maximum simultaneous UAS operations, and the maximum density of UAS flights allowed within the designated U-space airspace; (e) the minimum safety distance (spacing) to be maintained between manned and unmanned aircraft in airspace where manned aircraft operations are not subject to air traffic control; (f) the residual airspace risk class (ARC) to support the specific operations risk assessment (SORA) as defined in [Regulation (EU) 2019/947](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32019R0947&qid=1704885029791); (g) any other operational conditions and constraints derived from the airspace risk assessment (e.g. mitigation of specific hazards identified during the assessment).
