ENAC updates occurrence-reporting guidance as EU rules add UAS and U-space events
Italy's civil aviation authority ENAC updated its occurrence-reporting material following EU Implementing Regulation 2026/1821, which expands reportable civil-aviation occurrences to cover UAS, U-space and information-security events. ENAC directs mandatory occurrence reports through ECCAIRS 2 and distinguishes mandatory from voluntary reporting channels.

As UAS operations become more integrated with other aviation services, reporting is part of the safety system, not just an incident form after a crash. Link failures, U-space service problems and information-security events can become safety data.
Operators in scope should map who reports, what triggers a report, how quickly it must be filed and what evidence should be retained. Update internal incident checklists before an event occurs.
