Tommosta pukkaa:

Selitettä siihen:

Selasin läpi sekä proton että saatteen:

- Kopuilu "virallisilla" kentillä tulee jatkumaan ihan niinkuin nytkin. Suosittelen "virallistamaan" kaikki kerhojen kentät mahdollisimman pian...

- Kopuilu muualla tulee vaikeutumaan huomattavasti ( vaatii lupia ym.  ja hyväksyttyjä vehkeitä )

- Kittejä saa edelleen ostaa ja puuhailla kuten nytkin

- rtf koput/killuttimet joutuvat suurennuslasin alle ja vaatimuslista on pitkä ja kivinen ( ei koske  alle 250g vehkeitä )

Tulossa voimaan vuoden sisään...









Article 15 provides the transitional provisions for recreational operations of UA in the frame of associations or clubs (‘model aircraft’ operations).It is proposed that they can continue  to operate as of today in accordance with National regulations or practices.

After 3 years after the entry into force of the regulation an authorisation shall be issued by the national authorities to associations or clubs taking into account their safety record and defining limitations and deviations to the subpart B.

No risk analysis will be necessary as the idea is that the safety record, the procedures, the safety culture of the associations and clubs provide an equivalent safety level. ‘Model aircraft’ are not defined but are covered by the reference to leisure flights, air displays, sport or competition activities.

The reference to associations or clubs has been made because they have a structure, procedures and safety culture that created good safety record.

This also means that individual hobbyist should either comply with the rules or join an association or club.

The option of excluding ‘model aircraft’ was seriously envisaged taking into account their good safety record. We had several attempts to make a definition that could accurately separate classical ‘model aircraft’ from unmanned aircraft. This has proven difficult as a ‘model aircraft’ is indeed an unmanned aircraft, and the variety of model aircraft goes far beyond manually controlled fixed wing aircraft. As we could not identify a satisfactory definition, the option of a transition period combined with an authorisation taking into account the good safety record has been adopted. In our reflexions, we also took into account that the official Fédération Aéronautique Internationale policy is to attract unmanned aircraft hobbyists. This will allow hobbyists to benefit from the experience of ‘model aircraft’ associations and clubs.

Other reasons to keeping ‘model aircraft’ under the prototype rules are as follows:
Excluding ‘model aircraft’ from these prototype rules would allow operators to declare their UA as a model and escape to the requirements, therefore opening a safety gap. It must be kept in mind that a significant number of incidents are caused by UA operated non-commercially; Member States would have to develop rules for ‘model aircraft’. Not all have such rules. They would have to provide a definition of ‘model aircraft’ which, as explained above, is not an easy task; The approach being to consider the risk of the operation, being it commercial or non-commercial, excluding ‘model aircraft’ may not be in line with this principle.




At the exception of UAS falling within the scope of Appendixes I.2 to I.5 and placed on the market by the manufacturer in kit ready-to-assemble, home-built UAS do not  fall within the scope of this
