Regulation (EU) 2019/947 (the UAS Regulation) lays down harmonised rules and procedures for UAS operations in the ‘open’ and ‘specific’ categories across the European Union (EU) with the objective to foster the development of the UAS market in the EU. The EASA Member States (MSs) are responsible for implementing that Regulation and for issuing authorisations for UAS operations in the ‘specific’ category.

Decision 2019/021/R of 9 October 2019 issued the first issue of the AMC and GM for the implementation of the UAS Regulation, thus facilitating the regulatory harmonisation among the EASA MSs. However, since the publication of that first issue of the AMC and GM, a number of developments have taken place, which require the amendment of some of the AMC and GM and the introduction of new ones.

This document contains AMCs and GMs regarding the cover Regulation. The AMCs and GMs regarding the Annex are included in a separate document.
