Abstract
The development of UA is one of the most important challenges for the future of aviation. Consequently, this is one of the major challenges for the future of aviation law, particularly for those legal regulations that aim to provide an adequate level of civil aviation safety. The main goal is to show the results of the analysis of the legal framework created in Europe and to show where Europe is going in the nearest future. The method of study comprised content analysis of existing legislation. Results of the study shows inter alia that although the analysis of the adopted solutions is necessary for a better understanding, a comprehensive assessment of these solutions will be possible at the earliest after the end of the adopted transition periods, i.e. after 2023.
