## GM1 Article 15 Operational conditions for UAS geographical zones

MEANS TO INFORM MANNED AVIATION OF UAS GEOGRAPHICAL ZONES

Depending on the duration of the validity of a [UAS geographical zone](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/uas-geographical-zone), Member States may use AIPs and NOTAMs, as deemed appropriate, to inform manned aviation of:

UAS geographical zones in which UASs are exempted from one or more of the ‘open’ category requirements in accordance with Article 15(2) of the UAS Regulation;

other UAS geographical zones which are of relevance for manned aviation (e.g. U-space).

For temporary zones, NOTAMs may be used whereas for zones with longer duration, a publication in the AIP is more appropriate.
