(6)The mandatory reporting of occurrences related to the operation of UAS should be limited to those UAS operations that present a significant risk to aviation safety, in line with the risk-based approach established under Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote. Pursuant to Article 56(1) and (5) of that Regulation, UAS operations requiring either a certificate or a declaration for design have an inherently higher risk profile due to complex operational environments, higher-performance aircraft, or interactions with manned aviation. Such UAS operations require safety-related occurrences to be mandatorily reported, to ensure identification and mitigation of risks.
