GM1 Article 10(9) UAS flight authorisation service ED Decision 2022/022/R PRIORITY (a) A new flight authorisation request cannot override a previously approved flight authorisation of the same priority. To reduce the number of cases where two conflicting flight authorisation requests arrive before the approval of either of them has finished, the time required to approve a flight authorisation request by means of ‘proper arrangements’ as per [Article 10](#_DxCrossRefBm1226739984)(6) of [Regulation (EU) 2021/664](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021R0664&qid=1708016413860) should be as short as practically possible. When two or more conflicting flight authorisation requests are received so close in time that their processing has not finished when the other(s) is (are) received, then there should be no systematic advantage to a given USSP or a given UAS operator. The result should be one of the following: (1) the first flight authorisation request received by any USSP is approved; (2) neither/none flight authorisation request is approved; (3) any flight authorisation request at random is approved. (b) It is not possible to change an already authorised flight so that it conflicts with another authorised flight of the same priority or higher. Any change causing a conflict will be rejected, and the original, unchanged flight authorisation should remain valid.
