Validation of EASA´s Airspace Risk Assessment guidelines for implementing a U-space area in Germany

Kurzfassung

At first, this publication describes the methodology and process steps required for conducting the ARA in order to later validate their feasibility and practicability for the concrete use case of applying them to an active airport in Germany. Second, a detailed and precise execution of the ARA process phases is illustrated by following the aforementioned EASA guidelines entailing the three required phases of preparation, reference scenario development and assessment. Third, this publication details the conducted assessment phase by indicating the assessed risk levels including potential mitigation measures for several key performance areas in order to evaluate the feasibility of the U-space airspace implementation.
