Guidance on Airspace Observer Location and Quantity Justification

In plain language

When operating under an authorization that uses Airspace Observers (AOs), the flight path planning must ensure AOs are positioned correctly and in sufficient numbers. You must be able to reference the specific section of the Operations Manual (MO) where this is justified.

Requirement as structured

AESA guidance states that operators must explain how they ensure the correct location and appropriate number of airspace observers (AOs) along the flight path, declaring compliance and documenting it in the Operations Manual (MO).

Original regulatory text

(a) Asegurar la correcta ubicación y el número apropiado de AOs a lo largo de la trayectoria de vuelo prevista. Explicar cómo se alcanza esta condición. “Declaro el cumplimiento y que la documentación que lo justifica está en el MO”
