## GM1 Article 2(3) Definitions

DEFINITION OF ‘[ASSEMBLIES OF PEOPLE](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/assemblies-of-people)’

Assemblies of people have been defined by an objective criterion related to the possibility for an individual to move around in order to limit the consequences of an out-of-control UA. It was indeed difficult to propose a number of people above which this group of people would turn into an assembly of people: numbers were indeed proposed, but they showed quite a large variation. Qualitative examples of assemblies of people are:

(a) sport, cultural, religious or political events;

(b) beaches or parks on a sunny day;

(c) commercial streets during the opening hours of the shops; and

(d) ski resorts/tracks/lanes.
