Extension of the General Administrative Act on exemptions from SERA for unmanned aircraft of the ‘specific’ category

Until the General Administrative Act of 18 October 2024 of the Federal Ministry of Transport, file number PG Unb LF 6312.1/5-4, expires, no amendment to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 923/2012 will enter into force beyond 20 June 2025 that integrates UAS operations in the ‘specific’ category in a practical manner. Thus, when the General Administrative Act expires, the problems with the application of the law will continue to exist, especially for the requirements in the ‘specific’ category set out in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 923/2012. To ensure that UAS operations in control zones are not prevented by requirements under EU law that cannot be practically implemented, exemptions from Implementing Regulation (EU) No 923/2012 are still required. The scope and duration of the exemptions are limited to the extent necessary until Implementing Regulation (EU) No 923/2012 is amended or until revoked by the Federal Ministry of Transport.
