The Eurocontrol Luxembourg training centre has successfully completed the first validation instance of the new LEX-U-SPACE course with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
“Last week over three days, participants, instructors, and experts came together to test and refine this new course ahead of its public launch,” according to a LinkedIn post from Eurocontrol training expert Arife Aycan Mutlu.
The course provides an overview of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/664, 665 and 666 establishing the framework for the safe integration of drones into EU airspace through U-space, according to the course schedule posted on the Eurocontrol learning zone website. It covers:
- The roles and responsibilities of U-space service providers (USSPs), common information service providers (CISPs), and UAS operators, National Competent Authorities & European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
- Common Information Service (CIS) models (decentralised CISPs and centralised Single CISP).
- Certification requirements for U-space services and CIS.
- Mandatory U-space services such as network identification, geo-awareness, traffic information, and flight authorisation, plus optional services.
- The designation and management of U-space airspace, including safety principles like Dynamic Airspace Restriction (DAR) (per (EU) 2021/665) and eConspicuity (per (EU) 2021/666).
- Interactions with national authorities and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.
