AMC1 Article 12(5) Authorising operations in the ‘specific’ category

DECLARATION, VERIFICATION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT

(a)The competent authority should establish an online system for the submission of operational declarations, which provides the submitter with an automatic acknowledgement of receipt when the submission has been successful.

(b)For a submission to be considered successful, the online system should check that all the required information has been provided. Otherwise, the system should indicate to the submitter which parts of the information still need to be added to complete the submission of the declaration (e.g. fields to be filled in, compliance with requirements or statements to be accepted or acknowledged, etc.).

(c)In order to facilitate cross-border operations, the acknowledgement of receipt should be written at least in English, in addition to the language of the Member State. A formula such as the following may be used: ‘The {name of the competent authority} acknowledges the receipt of the declaration submitted by {name of the UAS operator and UAS operator registration number}, on {date of submission of the declaration} related to the STS {identification of the STS}. The declaration has been found to be complete.’
