APPLICABLE LOCAL CONDITIONS

NATURE OF THE OPERATION AND ASSOCIATED RISKS

The UAS operator must describe the purpose of their operations (spraying, undertaking power line inspections, experimental flights, transport, etc.) and the associated risks identified through an operational risk assessment.

Additionally, in this section the UAS operator must specify the title to be used to refer to the Concept of Operations and by which the ConOps is to be identified. E.g., "VLOS over a controlled ground area with swarms", which must be updated in the Appendix heading.

CONOPS NAME
Final Ground Risk Class (GRC)	Final Air Risk Class (ARC)	Specific Assurance and Integrity Level (SAIL)

Table 2. ConOps

OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL ZONE FOR INTENDED OPERATIONS

The following section describes the most significant aspects defining the operation, including a general or specific description of the geographical limits of the operation.

FLIGHT ZONE COORDINATES

Include the coordinates defining the flight zone. The use of either the decimal degrees format or the degrees, minutes and seconds format is recommended.

FLIGHT ZONE MAP

Include a screenshot of the flight zone(s). The use of the ENAIRE DRONES web app is recommended.

ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS APPLICABLE WITHIN THE FLIGHT ZONE

Create a list of each of the additional limitations (with the name and contact details of the pertinent authority, if applicable) that appear in the ENAIRE DRONES web app when providing flight zone details. For these purposes, it is advisable to refer to the Guide to UAS Flight Requirements and Limitations according to the intended location of operation available in section “How to fly a UAS in Spain”.

ConOps

A concise description of the characteristics of the operation must be provided in this section.

Aircraft: [Models]

In the case of a swarm [number of aircraft in the swarm]

Maximum Take-Off Mass (MTOM): [at least of the aircraft with the highest MTOM]

The type of operations: [VLOS or BVLOS]

If BVLOS [indicate maximum range of operation and whether Airspace Observers will be used]

Location [general or precise]

If precise location [indicate geographical coordinates]

The characteristics of the area to be flown over: [topography, obstacles, etc.].

Density of the population to be overflown: [populated areas / sparsely populated areas, far from people, groups of people]

[Controlled ground area / uncontrolled ground area]

Maximum flight altitude: [XX m]

Flight schedule [day and/or night]

Level of participation of crew and any automated or autonomous systems during each phase of flight [autonomous or non-autonomous operation]

Minimum crew for the operation

1 pilot; 1 pilot + 2 observers; 1 pilot + 1 auxiliary crew member; etc.

Type of airspace: [CAS, FIZ, TSA, TRA, etc.]

If CAS: The Operational Risk Assessment and Mitigation (EARO) study to be reviewed, signed, and authorized by the pertinent air navigation service provider (ANSP) as evidence of coordination with said body must be included.

Environmental conditions (only if relevant): [climate and electromagnetic environment]

Geographical zones (only if relevant): [Operations: near airports, aerodromes and heliports; in prohibited (P), restricted (R), hazardous (H) or sensitive wildlife (F) zones or in zones in which aerial photography is restricted (APR); over or in the vicinity of installations used for purposes of national defence or State security as well as nuclear power plants; over or in the vicinity of critical installations and infrastructure].

Semantic model

The semantic model may be generic—if the ConOps is not defined for a precise location—or specific—if there is a precise location where the operations are to be conducted.

The following table must be filled in for all ConOps.

The dimensions of the semantic model for the operation are determined as follows:

MAXIMUM FLIGHT GEOGRAPHY (DISTANCES IN METRES)	MINIMUM CONTINGENCY VOLUME (DISTANCES IN METRES)	MINIMUM GROUND RISK BUFFER (DISTANCES IN METRES)
Horizontal	Lateral	Vertical	Horizontal*	Lateral	Vertical	Horizontal	Lateral	Vertical
B	C	A	E	F	D	H	I	G

Table 3. Dimensions of the semantic model

(*) If the volume is circular, this is represented by the radius of the volume, i.e., the distance between pilot and UAS (removing the lateral column).

Illustration 1. Map and elevation of the semantic model of an operation over a rectangular ground plan.

Margen por riesgo	Risk buffer
Volumen de contingencia	Contingency volume
Geografía del vuelo	Flight geography

In addition, the operator must represent the data included in table 3 over the area in which they intend to conduct operations.

Ejemplo de geografía de vuelo para localización precisa	Example of a flight geography for a precise location

Zona de contención	Containment zone

Adjacent area

The operator must indicate the size of the adjacent area, based on the calculations made in the aeronautical safety survey, as explained in paragraph 10.1 of the Operational Risk Assessment Guide.

ADJACENT AREA (DISTANCES IN METRES)
Horizontal	Vertical

Table 4. Adjacent area distances

The surface occupied by the adjacent area must be shown on the map.

UPDATED OM PROCEDURES FOR COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL CONDITIONS

In this section the operator must include the operational procedures for ensuring compliance with local conditions and application of mitigation measures to the new intended location or locations. Examples of the procedures to be included or updated, as applicable, are:

Procedures for coordinating with airports/aerodromes

Procedures for operating in controlled airspace and details of the necessary equipment

The procedure for airspace segregation or for the publication of NOTAMs

The procedure for consulting and interpreting updated aeronautical information on the area of operations

The procedure for coordinating with the Ministry of the Interior

For some of these procedures, UAS operators are advised to refer to the detailed guidance on national requirements and limitations for conducting UAS operations depending on intended location of operation, called "Guide to UAS flight requirements and limitations depending on the intended location of operation (UAS geographical zones)", which is available in this section of AESA’s website.

For each change in procedure, the operator must explain how the change described will serve to ensure compliance with local conditions. In addition, if they consider certain procedures are not applicable to them, they must also explain why this is the case.

PROCEDURES FOR OPERATING OVER DENSELY BUILT-UP AREAS IN CITIES, TOWNS, OR INHABITED PLACES

The operator must include such information if they consider it applicable.

PROCEDURES FOR OPERATING OVER OPEN-AIR GATHERINGS OF PEOPLE

The operator must include such information if they consider it applicable.

The operator must include such information if they consider it applicable.

PROCEDURES FOR OPERATING IN CONTROLLED AIRSPACE OR IN A FLIGHT INFORMATION ZONE (FIZ) AND DETAILS OF THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT

The operator must include such information if they consider it applicable.

The operator must include such information if they consider it applicable.

PROCEDURES FOR OPERATING OVER OR IN THE VICINITY OF FACILITIES USED FOR PURPOSES OF NATIONAL DEFENCE OR STATE SECURITY AS WELL AS NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

The operator must include such information if they consider it applicable.

PROCEDURES FOR OPERATING OVER OR IN THE VICINITY OF CRITICAL FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE

The operator must include such information if they consider it applicable.
