The European Union Aviation Safety Agency has recently published a document called “Easy Access Rules” that covers European drone regulations in an easy to understand and easy to use format.

The 265 page document is available on their website for download here.  While 265 pages may sound daunting, it’s still an improvement – and a single resource with links for drone operators in member countries.  The document could help operators to work across borders.

Part of the EASA e-Rules project, the download covers “the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947, the related acceptable means of compliance (AMC) and guidance material (GM), as well as the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/945 on unmanned aircraft systems and on third-country operators of unmanned aircraft systems,” the website explains.

EASA has developed their regulations over several years.  While the challenges of working collaboratively with member states are clear, the resulting regulations could give European service and technology providers easy access to neighboring markets.  However, although the regulations have been published, the work isn’t over – member states must still set up their own compliant systems for things like drone registration.
