Harmonized Regulations – Europe
The many different national laws for drones fragment the EU market
and put high demands on pilots and operators (re: mutual recognition of
licenses & certificates) and delay investment.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has developed a
uniform regime for drones (Operation-centric & Not based on Maximum
Take-off Mass) with its Notice for Proposed Amendment (NPA) 2017-5
(A & B) u & subsequent “Opinion” u & subsequent Implementing
Regulation & Delegated Regulation u
EU adoption of the new regulation is planned for mid 2019 with rapid
national implementation to follow (with a transition period of 6
months/2 years).

Harmonized Regulations – Europe
THE EASA APPROACH = A REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT
Risk-/Operation-centric
The nature of the risk is inherent to the operation & must be
specifically addressed.
Proportionate
Mitigation measures + implementation costs & resources
must be proportionate to the risk they address.
Performance-based
Rules need to be technology transparent & should not
mandate a solution.
Page: 11/24 © UVS International 29 November 2018
Harmonized Regulations – Europe
3 Operational Categories
Open: Leisure operations & simple commercial applications (UA: <25 kg).
In visual line of site (VLOS) & below 120 m above ground level (AGL).
Product safety standards apply (C€ marking).
3 categories of use: A1 (over people)
A2 (close to people)
A3 (far away from people)
5 drone classes: C0 - C4
No prior authorisation by competent authority required
No declaration by operator to be submitted
Specific: Complex operations with pre-defined “standard” scenarios [incl.
beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) below 120 m AGL] based on Specific
Operation Risk Assessment (SORA) – Declaration by operator, or
operator must hold a Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC).
Otherwise, authorisation by the competent authority required.
Certified: For high risk operations (BVLOS & above 120 m AGL) – Certification of
UA & operator & licensing of flight crew required (similar to current
manned aviation requirements).
