## GM1 Article 1 Subject matter

AREAS OF APPLICABILITY OF THE UAS REGULATION

For the purposes of the UAS Regulation, the term ‘operation of [unmanned aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/unmanned-aircraft) systems’ does not include indoor UAS operations. Indoor operations are operations that occur in or into a house or a building (dictionary definition) or, more generally, in or into a closed space such as a fuel tank, a silo, a cave or a mine where the likelihood of a UA escaping into the outside airspace is very low.
