Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1107 provides a comprehensive framework for the continuing airworthiness of certified unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and their components, as well as outlining the standards and requirements for the approval of organisations and personnel involved in these tasks. This regulation is an important step in ensuring the safe and effective operation of unmanned aircraft systems across the European Union.
The regulation addresses the need for stringent maintenance and operational protocols for unmanned aircraft systems, recognising the growing use and complexity of these systems in various sectors including commercial, recreational, and governmental. The primary goal is to harmonise safety standards across EU member states, ensuring that all UAS operations maintain a high level of safety and reliability.
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1107 is designed to enhance the safety and reliability of unmanned aircraft operations within the EU. By setting high standards for the maintenance and operation of UAS, the regulation aims to protect both public safety and the integrity of the growing UAS sector. Compliance will require significant effort from industry participants but will ultimately contribute to a safer and more sustainable UAS ecosystem.
