operational context

EASA defines “operational context” in one regulation. The wording below is reproduced verbatim from the EASA Easy Access Rules, with a link to the paragraph it comes from.

‘operational context’ means the operational characteristics — such as aerodrome size/layout, traffic volume/density and complexity, related airspace and flight procedures, number of simultaneously served aerodromes, etc. — that should be considered when remote aerodrome ATS is to be implemented;
