The Swedish Transport Agency’s regulations and general advice on U-space services

The Swedish Transport Agency’s draft regulations cover the following areas:

1. Several minor clarifications related to U-space services are proposed with the aim of benefiting U-space service providers, first responders, aviation safety and UAS operators.
2. Currently, there is no possibility for U-space service providers to access information in the operator registry through electronic disclosure, which is why the Swedish Transport Agency regulates that UAS operators wishing to use a service must, themselves, provide their chosen service provider with information from the register. Therefore, every service provider needs to have the ability to receive such information.
3. The regulation encourages other aviation for government purposes, which is not subject to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, to as far as possible use U-space services. A possibility is also introduced for them to obtain decisions on other operational restrictions.
4. The lowest values for update rate/update rate for the network identification service and the traffic information service are regulated.
