  • BSI Flex 1903 v2:2024-06 community preview

    This is an interactive version 2 of BSI Flex 1903. The aim of the standard is to create a lexicon of standard terms and acronyms used in this sector. Please note, content is still undergoing internal review and there may be minor changes at full publication.

    We welcome your engagement and comments on this version to help inform the development of the standard. We would also welcome general feedback including what terms could be considered for future versions and these can be made through our dedicated feedback page .

flight volume

Updated

 Share

  • Definition

    volume of airspace that encompasses the entire operation, with sufficient buffer for any operational movement around the flight path, due to navigational errors, expected weather conditions and any other reason for deviating from the flight path

     

    NOTE 1 Refers to normal operations and is surrounded by the contingency volume (3.1.44) that provides a buffer within which contingency procedures are activated.

    NOTE 2 Similar in concept to the EASA term “flight geography”, which refers to the spatially and temporally defined volume of airspace in which the uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) (3.1.137) operator plans to conduct the operation under normal procedures.
