ED Decision 2022/022/R
U-SPACE AIRSPACE — DESIGN, OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS AND CONSTRAINTS
Considering Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/664, 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, 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;
(g) any other operational conditions and constraints derived from the airspace risk assessment (e.g. mitigation of specific hazards identified during the assessment).
