GM2 Article 6(8) UAS operators ED Decision 2022/022/R CONTINGENCY IN CASE OF DEGRADATION OR A LOSS OF THE USSP SERVICES UAS operators may evaluate the degradation or the loss of the USSP services in the context of their operations in the U-space airspace and establish appropriate contingency measures against the resulting hazards. A hazard assessment should consider: (a) the impact and severity of the hazards on own operations; (b) the impact and severity of the hazards on other nearby operations; (c) the operational environment; (d) other additional operational mitigation measures, if applicable. UAS operators should provide USSPs with actions to be taken in the event of a loss or degradation of the U-space services which could result in an overall reduction of safety or pose a risk to nearby U‑space operations, and action would be required to be taken by another UAS operator. These actions may be contained within an operator’s contingency plan. UAS operators should ensure the effective coverage of the contingency measures in case of degradation or loss of USSP services, especially for services used in flight such as: (e) the inability to receive information on dynamic airspace reconfiguration and/or modifications to the UAS flight authorisation; (f) a loss of availability of traffic information data; (g) sharing of contingencies (as applicable).
