1.4.2 Expiry date of the document listed in 1.4.2. If the validity is unlimited, indicate ‘Unlimited’.

2.1 Location(s) in the MS of operation where the UAS operator is authorised to operate. The identification of the location(s) should contain the full operational volume and ground risk buffer (the red line in Figure 2). The location(s) should be expressed in the same way as in the operational authorisation (e.g. ‘generic’ or ‘precise’ (refer to GM2 UAS.SPEC.030(2)).

2.2 Insert the upper limit, expressed in metres and feet in parentheses, of the approved contingency volume (adding the air risk buffer, if applicable) using the AGL reference when the upper limit is below 150 m (492 ft), or use the MSL reference when the upper limit is above 150 m (492 ft).

3.Free-text field for the addition of any relevant remark.

4.1 Reference number of the confirmation of acceptability, as issued by the competent authority. The number should have the following format: NNN-CBO-xxxxx/yyy Where: ‘NNN’ is the ISO 3166 Alpha-3 code of the MS that issues the confirmation of acceptability of the operational authorisation number; ‘CBO’ is a fixed field meaning ‘cross-border operation’; ‘xxxxx’ are up to 12 alphanumeric characters defining the confirmation of acceptability of the operational authorisation number; and ‘yyy’ are 3 alphanumeric characters defining the revision number of the confirmation of acceptability of the operational authorisation number. Each amendment of the confirmation of acceptability of the operational authorisation number will determine a new revision number.

4.2 The duration of the confirmation of acceptability of the operational authorisation may be unlimited; in this case, indicate ‘Unlimited’. The confirmation of acceptability will be valid for as long as the UAS operator complies with the relevant provisions of the UAS Regulation and with the conditions defined in the operational authorisation and in the confirmation of acceptability.

4.3 If the UAS operator has submitted to the competent authority of the MS of operation the full revised operations manual (OM), indicate its identification and revision number. Otherwise, in case only the chapter/section of the OM with the updated locations and procedures is submitted, provide its identification and revision number. In case no local conditions are identified or there is no need to update the procedures in the OM, indicate ‘n/a’.

4.4 If provided, indicate the compliance evidence file identification and revision number. Note 1: In case of LUC, points 4.3 and 4.4 may not be filled in if according to the LUC terms of approval the organisation has the privilege to extend the operational authorisation to different locations. Note 2: The signature and stamp may be provided in electronic form. The QR code should provide the link to the national database where the confirmation of acceptability for cross-border operations is stored.
