GM1 Article 2(3) Definitions

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 16

DEFINITION OF ‘ASSEMBLIES OF PEOPLE’

Assemblies of people have been defined by the ability of people to move around freely, and therefore move out of the way of an out-of-control UA.

There are no strict numbers defined above which a group of people would turn into an assembly of people as different situations would result in different conclusions. An assembly must be evaluated qualitatively, based on the ability of people within that group to move away from any risk posed by the UAS operation.

Qualitative examples of assemblies of people are:

a) sport, cultural, religious or political events;

b) music festivals and concerts;

c) marches and rallies;

d) parties, carnivals and fêtes.
