Development of Operational Procedures

In plain language

If you are both the operator and the remote pilot, you do not need written procedures and can rely on the manufacturer's instructions.

Requirement as structured

EASA accepts that the UAS operator develops procedures adapted to the type of operations and risks involved, and does not require written procedures if the operator is also the remote pilot.

Original regulatory text

The UAS operator should develop procedures adapted to the type of operations they intend to perform and to the risks involved. Therefore, written procedures should not be necessary if the UAS operator is also the remote pilot, and the remote pilot may use the procedures defined in the manufacturer’s instructions.
