EU/EASA Operators

• EU member states/EASA countries operators

Article 13 “Cross-border operations or operations outside the state of registration of EU reg. 2019/947” sets-out the rules for EU/EASA member states operators to conduct operations in the SPECIFIC category intended to take place partially or entirely in the airspace of a Member State other than the Member State of registration.

Operators who were granted an operational approval should compile the Application for a cross-border UAS operation  in the ‘specific’ category and submit it, at least 30 days before the  intended date of operation, to the following e-mail address: mobilita.innovativa@enac.gov.it

In order to comply with art. 23 of Italian UAS-IT regulation “the pilot shall plan the flight by means of d-flight website in case of BVLOS operations in accordance with the procedures established by ENAC”.

ENAC established as a procedure the use of d-flight platform for the purposes mentioned above.

UAS Operator registration number assigned by d-flight platform, in this case, has to be considered only in the frame of the release of the confirmation and not valid as Country registration in accordance with art. 14 of EU Reg. 2019/947.

Note: At the the time of cross border application a fee will need to be payed (309€ for cross border operation + 110€ for airspace reserve, if required)

The payment of the fees can be done via a wire transfer on the following bank account:

Account holder: ENAC

IBAN: IT 29 Q 01005 03309 000000218300

SWIFT  BIC: BNLIITRR

A proof of the successful execution of the bank transfer shall be attached to the application for cross border operation.
