GM1 Article 14(1) Registration of UAS operators and ‘certified’ UAS

ACCURACY OF THE REGISTRATION SYSTEMS UAS operators, when registering themselves or their certified UAS, are required to provide accurate information and update the registration data when it changes. Member States are required to keep that information and registration data accurate in their registration systems. An example of data that may change over time is: a UAS operator address, email address, and telephone number; and the validity of the insurance policy for the UAS. To verify the validity of the insurance policy, Member States may require, at the time of registration, the UAS operator to provide the expiry date of the insurance policy and to consider the registration invalid after that date. UAS operators, especially those conducting UAS operations for leisure, may decide to fly their UAS only for a short period; therefore, it is possible that even if the database of a registration system contains many registered UAS operators, only some of them are active. Member States may define a duration period for the validity of registration of all UAS operators and may revoke the registration number if the UAS operator does not renew that number before it expires. Member States may also decide to suspend or revoke the registration number if the UAS operator’s conduct justifies such a measure.
