ENAC updates drone occurrence reporting around new EU requirements

Italy's ENAC published a UAS safety-promotion guide covering mandatory and voluntary occurrence reporting, with updated forms for Open and Specific operations. The revision incorporates Regulation (EU) 2026/1821 and explicitly covers U-space-related occurrences.

As operations become more automated and U-space-dependent, reporting rules increasingly capture system and service failures, not only obvious aircraft accidents.

Operators should update occurrence-reporting procedures, staff training and log retention so that U-space deviations and other reportable events are recognized quickly.
