GM1 Article 10(5) UAS flight authorisation service ED Decision 2022/022/R ACTIVATION REQUEST (a) It is acknowledged that depending on the implementation of the flight authorisation service and the situation in the U-space airspace, the flight authorisation may have been withdrawn. Nevertheless, a final consolidation and check of the accepted flight authorisation against the U‑space airspace constraints, conditions, and environment is expected to be performed to ensure the safety of operations. (b) The activation request is expected close to the start of the flight mentioned in the UAS flight authorisation. (c) The activation of the flight authorisation triggers the provision of the network identification and traffic information services and, when applicable, the conformance monitoring service. The activation request should enable the provision of these services. (d) When the USSP receives the activation request, it rechecks the flight authorisation request. If the flight authorisation request has been withdrawn because it has been found to be in conflict with a higher-priority flight authorisation request or a manned aircraft known or believed to be in a state of emergency, then the USSP should respond negatively to the activation request. (e) If no activation request is received for a flight, the USSP should withdraw the flight authorisation after the time indicated in the flight authorisation request as the latest possible start time of the flight plus any deviation threshold with units of time. The USSP may warn the UAS operator before doing this.
