The Airworthiness Task Force (AW TF), established in November 2022 under the unmanned aircraft system (UAS) Technical Body (TeB), is developing means of compliance (MoC) aimed at supporting, for SAIL III operations, declarations of compliance to specific operational risk assessment (SORA) operational safety objectives (OSOs) linked with UAS design, therefore under the responsibility of the UAS designer. The MoC provided in consultation addresses OSO#3, limited to its airworthiness requirements, as per AMC 1 to Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 2019/947.
Applicants who wish to propose the application of alternative standards to those referenced by the SAIL III MoC should contact their competent authority. The proposal may need to be assessed by the AW TF and, if found appropriate, may be reflected in further revisions of the MoC.
Official comments to the proposed Consultation Paper are to be filed through the EASA Comment Response Tool (CRT).
