2. Each State Party shall be obliged to accept observation flights over its territory in accordance with the provisions of this Treaty.
3. Each State Party shall have the right to conduct a number of observation flights over the territory of any other State Party equal to the number of observation flights which that other State Party has the right to conduct over it.
4. The total number of observation flights that each State Party is obliged to accept over its territory is the total passive quota for that State Party. The allocation of the total passive quota to the States Parties is set forth in Annex A, Section I to this Treaty.
5. The number of observation flights that a State Party shall have the right to conduct each year over the territory of each of the other States Parties is the individual active quota of that State Party with respect to that other State Party. The sum of the individual active quotas is the total active quota of that State Party. The total active quota of a State Party shall not exceed its total passive quota.
6. The first distribution of active quotas is set forth in Annex A, Section II to this Treaty.
7. After entry into force of this Treaty, the distribution of active quotas shall be subject to an annual review for the following calendar year within the framework of the Open Skies Consultative Commission. In the event that it is not possible during the annual review to arrive within three weeks at agreement on the distribution of active quotas with respect to a particular State Party, the previous year's distribution of active quotas with respect to that State Party shall remain unchanged.
8. Except as provided for by the provisions of Article VIII, each observation flight conducted by a State Party shall be counted against the individual and total active quotas of that State Party.
9. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 5 of this Section, a State Party to which an active quota has been distributed may, by agreement with the State Party to be overflown, transfer a part or all of its total active quota to other States Parties and shall promptly notify all other States Parties and the Open Skies Consultative Commission thereof. Paragraph 10 of this Section shall apply.
10. No State Party shall conduct more observation flights over the territory of another State Party than a number equal to 50 per cent, rounded up to the nearest whole number, of its own total active quota, or of the total passive quota of that other State Party, whichever is less.

Za skupino držav pogodbenic, ki se oblikuje po podpisu te pogodbe, se določbe tega razdelka začnejo uporabljati najmanj šest mesecev od datuma obvestila vsem drugim državam pogodbenicam in zanjo veljajo določbe šestega odstavka tega razdelka.
(B) Skupina držav pogodbenic sodeluje glede aktivnih in pasivne kvot v skladu z določbami drugega ali tretjega odstavka tega razdelka.
2. (A) Članice skupine držav pogodbenic imajo pravico do medsebojne ponovne razdelitve aktivnih kvot za tekoče leto, obdržati pa morajo vrednost lastnih posameznih pasivnih kvot. O prerazporeditvi morajo biti takoj uradno obveščene vse tretje države pogodbenice, ki jih to zadeva.
(B) Opazovalni let se šteje za toliko opazovalnih letov glede na posamezno in celotno aktivno kvoto opazovalke, kolikor opazovank, ki pripadajo skupini, je preletenih. Let se šteje za en opazovalni let glede na celotno pasivno kvoto vsake opazovanke.
(C) Vsaka država pogodbenica, ki je vključena v aktivno kvoto ene ali več članic skupine, ima pravico izvesti nad ozemljem katere koli članice skupine 50 odstotkov več opazovalnih letov, zaokroženih na najbližje celo število, kot je njena posamezna aktivna kvota za to članico skupine, ali pa ima pravico izvesti dva taka preleta, če za to članico skupine nima aktivne kvote.
(D) Če država pogodbenica izkoristi to pravico, zmanjša svoje aktivne kvote za druge članice skupine tako, da celotna vsota opazovalnih letov, ki jih izvede nad ozemlji držav članic skupine, ne preseže vsote posameznih aktivnih kvot, ki jih ima za vse članice skupine v tekočem letu.
(E) Nad ozemlji vsake članice skupine veljajo največje dolžine opazovalnih letov. Če se opazovalni let izvaja nad več članicami, se po izpolnitvi največje dolžine leta nad eno članico izključijo vsi senzorji, dokler opazovalno letalo ne doseže točke nad ozemljem naslednje članice skupine držav pogodbenic, kjer je načrtovan začetek opazovalnega leta. Za tak nadaljevani opazovalni let velja največja dolžina leta glede na letališče odprtih zračnih prostorov, ki je najbližje tej točki.
3. (A) Skupina držav pogodbenic ima pravico, da se ji na njeno zahtevo določi skupna celotna pasivna kvota, skupne posamezne in celotne aktivne kvote pa se razdelijo glede na to.
(B) V tem primeru je celotna pasivna kvota celotno število opazovalnih letov, ki jih mora skupina držav pogodbenic sprejeti vsako leto. Celotna aktivna kvota je seštevek opazovalnih letov, ki jih ima skupina držav pogodbenic pravico izvesti vsako leto. Njena celotna aktivna kvota ne sme presegati njene celotne pasivne kvote.

4. Opazovanka ima pravico predlagati spremembe v načrtu naloge, če je razlog za to katera koli od teh okoliščin:
(A) vremenske razmere vplivajo na varnost letenja;
(B) stanje letališča odprtih zračnih prostorov, ki naj bi ga uporabili, nadomestnih letališč ali letališč za polnjenje z gorivom preprečuje njihovo uporabo ali
(C) načrt naloge ni skladen z drugim in četrtim odstavkom II. razdelka VI. člena.
5. Če se opazovalka ne strinja s predlaganimi spremembami načrta naloge, ima pravico predložiti druge možnosti k predlaganim spremembam. Če v osmih urah po predložitvi prvotnega načrta naloge ni dosežen dogovor o njem in če opazovalka meni, da spremembe načrta naloge omejujejo njene pravice po tej pogodbi za izvedbo opazovalnega leta, ima pravico odkloniti opazovalni let, ki se prav tako ne šteje v kvoto ene in druge države pogodbenice.
6. Če opazovalka odkloni opazovalni let po tem členu ali Dodatku F, mora takoj, še pred svojim odhodom pojasniti razloge za svojo odločitev iz načrta naloge. V sedmih dneh po odhodu opazovalka pošlje po diplomatski poti vsem drugim državam pogodbenicam pisno pojasnilo za to odločitev v poročilu o nalogi, danem na podlagi enaindvajsetega odstavka I. razdelka VI. člena.
II. RAZDELEK: ODSTOPANJA OD NAČRTA LETA
1. Med opazovalnim letom so dovoljena odstopanja od načrta leta, če so potrebna zaradi:
(A) vremenskih razmer, ki vplivajo na varnost letenja;
(B) tehničnih težav v zvezi z opazovalnim letalom;
(C) nujne zdravstvene pomoči osebi v letalu ali
(D) navodil kontrole letenja v zvezi z okoliščinami, ki so nastale zaradi višje sile.
2. Poleg tega so dovoljena odstopanja, če vremenske razmere onemogočajo učinkovito uporabo optičnih senzorjev ali infrardečih premočrtnih čitalnikov, pod pogojem, da:
(A) so izpolnjene zahteve za varnost letenja;
(B) je dano dovoljenje organov kontrole letenja, če tako zahtevajo pravila posameznih držav, in
(C) delovanje senzorjev ne presega zmogljivosti, določenih v drugem odstavku IV. člena, razen če ni drugače dogovorjeno.
3. Opazovanka ima pravico prepovedati uporabo posameznega senzorja med odstopanjem, zaradi katerega se opazovalno letalo spusti pod najnižjo višino letenja, predvideno za delovanje tega posameznega senzorja v skladu z omejitvijo ločljivosti na zemlji, kot je določena v drugem odstavku IV. člena. Če mora opazovalno letalo zaradi odstopanja za več kot 50 kilometrov spremeniti smer leta, ki je bila določena v načrtu leta, ima opazovanka pravico prepovedati uporabo vseh senzorjev, nameščenih na opazovalnem letalu, za ozemlje zunaj omenjene 50-kilometrske meje.

5. Če je skrajšanje opazovalnega leta posledica odstopanja od načrta leta, ki ga dovoljuje prvi odstavek tega razdelka, ali če je skrajšanje v skladu s četrtim odstavkom tega razdelka, se opazovalni let šteje v kvoto obeh držav pogodbenic, razen če so vzrok skrajšanja:
(A) nepravilno delovanje senzorjev v opazovalnem letalu, ki ga je priskrbela opazovanka;
(B) tehnične težave v zvezi z opazovalnim letalom, ki ga je priskrbela opazovanka;
(C) nujna zdravstvena pomoč članu posadke opazovanke ali opazovalcu leta ali
(D) navodila kontrole letenja v zvezi z okoliščinami, ki so nastale zaradi višje sile.
V takšnih primerih se ima opazovalka pravico odločiti, ali se opazovalni let šteje v kvoto obeh držav pogodbenic.
6. Podatke, ki jih zberejo senzorji, opazovalka obdrži le, če se opazovalni let šteje v kvoto obeh držav pogodbenic.
7. Če pride do odstopanja od načrta leta, poveljnik letala ukrepa v skladu z objavljenimi pravili letenja države opazovanke. Ko dejavnikov, ki so povzročili odstopanje, ni več, sme opazovalno letalo z dovoljenjem kontrole letenja nadaljevati opazovalni let v skladu z načrtom leta. Dodatna dolžina leta opazovalnega letala, ki jo je povzročilo odstopanje, se ne šteje v največjo dolžino leta.
8. Osebje obeh držav pogodbenic v opazovalnem letalu mora biti takoj obveščeno o vseh odstopanjih od načrta leta.
9. Dodatni stroški, ki izhajajo iz določb tega člena, se povrnejo v skladu z devetim odstavkom I. razdelka Dodatka L k tej pogodbi.
III. RAZDELEK: NUJNI PRIMERI
1. V nujnem primeru se poveljnik letala ravna po Postopkih za zračno navigacijo-pravilih letenja in službe zračnega prometa, dokument ICAO št. 4444-RAC/501/12, kot je bil spremenjen ali dopolnjen, po predpisih letenja države opazovanke ter po priročniku za upravljanje opazovalnega letala.
2. Vsakemu opazovalnemu letalu, ki razglasi nujni primer, mora opazovanka dati na voljo vse reševalne in navigacijske zmogljivosti, da zagotovi čim hitrejši zasilni pristanek letala na najbližjem primernem letališču.
3. Ob letalski nesreči, v kateri je udeleženo opazovalno letalo na ozemlju opazovanke, izvede opazovanka iskanje in reševanje v skladu s svojimi predpisi in postopki za take primere.
4. Preiskavo letalske nesreče ali dogodka, v katerem je udeleženo opazovalno letalo, opravi opazovanka s sodelovanjem opazovalke v skladu s priporočili ICAO, določenimi v Prilogi 13 h Konvenciji o mednarodnem civilnem letalstvu (Preiskava letalskih nesreč), kot je bila spremenjena ali dopolnjena, in v skladu s predpisi države opazovanke.
5. Če opazovalno letalo ni registrirano pri opazovanki, je treba ob koncu preiskave vse najdene ali rešene razbitine in ostanke opazovalnega letala in senzorjev vrniti opazovalki ali pogodbenici, ki je lastnica letala, če tako zahteva.

PRILOGA 1 K DODATKU D
POSTOPKI ZA VERIFIKACIJO DELOVANJA SENZORJEV, NAMEŠČENIH NA OPAZOVALNEM LETALU
Ločljivost na zemlji za vsak senzor, nameščen na opazovalnem letalu, kadar pa je njegovo delovanje odvisno od višine nad tlemi, tudi najnižja višina nad tlemi, pri kateri je dovoljeno upravljati senzor med opazovalnim letom, se določita in potrdita na podlagi podatkov, zbranih nad kalibracijskimi tarčami, ki ustrezajo posamezni vrsti senzorja v skladu z značilnostmi iz I. razdelka, ter izračunata v skladu s postopki, ki jih določi posvetovalna komisija za odprte zračne prostore.
I. RAZDELEK: ZAHTEVE ZA KALIBRACIJSKE TARČE
1. Kalibracijske tarče priskrbi država pogodbenica, ki izvaja certificiranje, v skladu z določbami Dodatka D k pogodbi. Uporabijo se za določanje ločljivosti na zemlji za senzorje, in sicer za vsak tip vsake vrste senzorja, in označijo v skladu s tu navedenimi značilnostmi.
2. Kalibracijske tarče za ugotavljanje ločljivosti na zemlji za optične kamere sestavljajo izmenične črne in bele proge. Vsaka skupina prog mora imeti najmanj dve črni progi, ločeni z belo progo. Širina črnih in belih prog v skupini se ne sme spreminjati. Širina prog v skupinah prog kalibracijske tarče se spreminja v primernih stopnjah, da se zagotovi točna meritev ločljivosti na zemlji. Dolžina prog v okviru skupine se ne spreminja. Kontrastno razmerje med belimi in črnimi progami je enako za vso tarčo in mora biti vsaj 5 proti 1 (kar ustreza modulaciji 0,66).
3. Kalibracijske tarče za ugotavljanje ločljivosti na zemlji za infrardeče premočrtne čitalnike določi posvetovalna komisija za odprte zračne prostore med začasno uporabo pogodbe.
4. Kalibracijske tarče za ugotavljanje ločljivosti na zemlji za zbirni aperturni radar za bočno opazovanje so sestavljene iz piramidastih kotnih reflektorjev, razporejenih v skladu s postopki, ki jih določi posvetovalna komisija za odprte zračne prostore med začasno uporabo pogodbe.
5. Vsaka država pogodbenica predloži vsem drugim državam pogodbenicam diagrame kalibracijskih tarč, ki jih namerava uporabiti za pregled med letom. Na teh diagramih so navedeni velikost kalibracijskih tarč, kraj njihove namestitve in vrsta terena, na katerem so postavljene, ter podatki za vsak tip kalibracijske tarče, kot jih določi posvetovalna komisija za odprte zračne prostore med začasno uporabo pogodbe.
II. RAZDELEK: IZVAJANJE PREGLEDA MED LETOM
1. Za ugotavljanje ločljivosti na zemlji za panoramske ali navpično nameščene kamere za posamezne posnetke mora biti smer leta opazovalnega letala neposredno nad kalibracijsko tarčo in vzporedno z njo. Za ugotavljanje ločljivosti na zemlji za poševno nameščene kamere za posamezne posnetke mora biti smer leta opazovalnega letala vzporedna s kalibracijsko tarčo na taki razdalji, da se slika kalibracijske tarče pojavi v ospredju vidnega polja optične kamere pri največjem kotu, merjenem od vodoravnice, ali pri najmanjšem kotu, merjenem od navpičnice.
2. Za ugotavljanje ločljivosti na zemlji za infrardeče premočrtne čitalnike mora biti smer leta opazovalnega letala neposredno nad kalibracijsko tarčo in vzporedno z njo na dogovorjeni višini nad tlemi.
3. Za ugotavljanje ločljivosti na zemlji za zbirni aperturni radar za bočno opazovanje mora biti smer leta opazovalnega letala bočno od razvrščenih kotnih reflektorjev.
III. RAZDELEK: ANALIZA PODATKOV, ZBRANIH PRI PREGLEDU MED LETOM
1. Po končanem pregledu med letom država pogodbenica, ki izvaja certificiranje, in države pogodbenice, ki sodelujejo pri certificiranju, skupno analizirajo podatke, zbrane pri pregledu med letom, v skladu s prvim odstavkom IV. razdelka Dodatka D k pogodbi.
2. Postopek za izračun najmanjše višine nad tlemi, pri kateri je dovoljeno upravljati posamezno optično kamero na opazovalnem letalu med opazovalnim letom, vključno z vrednostjo kontrastnega razmerja ali z enakovredno modulacijo, ki se uporabi pri tem izračunu in naj ne bo manjša od 1,6: 1 (temu ustreza 0,23) in ne večja od 4: 1 (temu ustreza 0,6), določi posvetovalna komisija za odprte zračne prostore med začasno uporabo pogodbe in pred 30. junijem 1992. Ločljivost na zemlji za optične kamere se določi z vizualno analizo slike kalibracijske tarče na izvirnem negativu filma. Številčna vrednost ločljivosti na zemlji je enaka širini najožje proge kalibracijske tarče, ki se še razloči kot ločena proga.
3. Postopek za izračun najmanjše višine nad tlemi, pri kateri je dovoljeno upravljati posamezno videokamero na opazovalnem letalu med opazovalnim letom, določi posvetovalna komisija za odprte zračne prostore med začasno uporabo pogodbe.
4. Postopek za izračun najmanjše višine nad tlemi, pri kateri je dovoljeno upravljati infrardeči premočrtni čitalnik na opazovalnem letalu med opazovalnim letom, vključno z vrednostjo najmanjše ločljive temperaturne razlike, ki se uporabi pri tem izračunu, določi posvetovalna komisija za odprte zračne prostore med začasno uporabo pogodbe.
5. Postopek za izračun ločljivosti na zemlji, pri kateri je dovoljeno upravljati zbirni aperturni radar za bočno opazovanje, vključno z ugotavljanjem razmerja med metodo impulznega odziva in metodo ločljivosti objekta, določi posvetovalna komisija za odprte zračne prostore med začasno uporabo pogodbe.
DODATEK E
POSTOPKI ZA PRIHODE IN
ODHODE
1. Vsaka država pogodbenica na svojem ozemlju določi eno ali več točk vstopa, eno ali več točk izstopa in eno ali več letališč odprtih zračnih prostorov. Točke vstopa in točke izstopa so lahko tudi letališča odprtih zračnih prostorov. Če ni drugače dogovorjeno in če točka vstopa ni letališče odprtih zračnih prostorov, se letališče odprtih zračnih prostorov določi tako, da ga opazovalka lahko doseže v petih urah od točke vstopa s svojim opazovalnim letalom ali prevoznim sredstvom, ki ga priskrbi opazovanka. Opazovalka ima po prihodu na točko vstopa ali na letališče odprtih zračnih prostorov pravico do počitka, kot je določeno v VI. členu pogodbe.
2. Vsaka država pogodbenica ima pravico določiti stalne točke vstopa in stalne točke izstopa. Če se država pogodbenica odloči določiti stalne točke vstopa in izstopa, naj te točke olajšujejo let z ozemlja opazovalke do točke vstopa na ozemlju opazovanke. Načrtovani leti med stalnimi točkami vstopa in točkami vstopa ter med točkami izstopa in stalnimi točkami izstopa morajo biti izvedeni v skladu s standardi in priporočili ICAO ter nacionalnimi predpisi. Če so deli letov med stalnimi točkami vstopa in točkami vstopa ali med točkami izstopa in stalnimi točkami izstopa v mednarodnem zračnem prostoru, mora biti let skozi mednarodni zračni prostor usklajen z objavljenimi mednarodnimi predpisi.
3. V Prilogi 1 k temu dodatku so navedeni podatki o točkah vstopa in izstopa, letališčih odprtih zračnih prostorov, stalnih točkah vstopa in izstopa, letališčih za polnjenje z gorivom in o kalibracijskih tarčah.
4. Država pogodbenica ima pravico spremeniti Prilogo 1 k temu dodatku, s tem da najpozneje 90 dni pred začetkom veljavnosti sprememb pisno uradno obvesti vse druge države pogodbenice o teh spremembah.
5. Vsaka država pogodbenica zagotovi uspešno opazovanje svojega celotnega ozemlja, in sicer:
(A) na kopenskem delu ozemlja se letališča odprtih zračnih prostorov določijo tako, da ni nobena točka ozemlja od enega ali več takih letališč oddaljena več kot 35 odstotkov največje razdalje ali razdalj leta, določenih za to državo pogodbenico v skladu z Dodatkom A k pogodbi;
(B) za dele ozemlja, ločene od kopnega:
(1) država pogodbenica uporablja določbe pododstavka (A) tega odstavka, ali
(2) če so del ali deli ozemlja več kot 600 kilometrov oddaljeni od kopnega ali če se tako dogovorita ta država pogodbenica in opazovalka ali če je v Dodatku A predvideno drugače, ta država pogodbenica zagotovi posebne postopke, vključno z možno uporabo letališč za polnjenje z gorivom, ali
(3) če so del ali deli ozemlja ločeni od kopnega manj kot 600 kilometrov in ti deli ne spadajo pod določbe pododstavka (A) tega odstavka, lahko ta država pogodbenica v Dodatku A določi posebej navedeno največjo razdaljo leta, ki pokriva tak del ali dele njenega ozemlja.
6. Takoj ob prihodu opazovalnega letala na točko vstopa in tik pred odhodom opazovalnega letala s točke izstopa opazovanka in opazovalka pregledata pokrove za odprtine senzorjev ali druge naprave, ki onemogočajo delovanje senzorjev in so nameščene v skladu s četrtim odstavkom IV. člena. Če točka vstopa ni letališče odprtih zračnih prostorov, s katerega se začne opazovalni let, opazovanka in opazovalka pregledata pokrove za odprtine senzorjev ali druge naprave, ki onemogočajo delovanje senzorjev, tik pred odhodom opazovalnega letala s točke vstopa na pot do letališča odprtih zračnih prostorov, s katerega se začne opazovalni let. Če točka izstopa ni letališče odprtih zračnih prostorov, na katerem se opazovalni let konča, opazovanka in opazovalka pregledata pokrove za odprtine senzorjev ali druge naprave, ki onemogočajo delovanje senzorjev, tik pred odhodom opazovalnega letala s tega letališča do točke izstopa.
7. Država pogodbenica ima pravico pregledati in popisati vso opremo, ki jo namerava druga država pogodbenica uporabiti za pregled senzorjev pred letom, in če ustreza, opazovalnega letala, ter predmete, ki jih nameravajo v opazovalno letalo prinesti predstavniki leta. Pregled in popis:
(A) se začneta najpozneje eno uro po prihodu na točko vstopa ali na letališče odprtih zračnih prostorov po izbiri države, ki popisuje, in se končata v eni uri ter
(B) se izvedeta v prisotnosti ene ali več oseb, ki jih je določila druga država pogodbenica.
8. Če med pregledom in popisom opreme, ki naj bi se uporabila pri pregledu senzorjev, in če to ustreza, opazovalnega letala, ter predmetov, ki jih nameravajo v opazovalno letalo prinesti predstavniki leta, država pogodbenica, ki pregleduje in popisuje, ugotovi, da oprema in predmeti ne ustrezajo seznamu uradno dovoljene opreme iz petega odstavka II. razdelka Dodatka D ali predmetom, opisanim v četrtem odstavku I. razdelka Dodatka G, ima država pogodbenica pravico, da ne da dovoljenja za njihovo uporabo. Take predmete, ki jih je osebje opazovalke prineslo na ozemlje opazovanke, je treba, če ni drugače dogovorjeno:
(A) shraniti v zapečatenem zabojniku in
(B) nato z ozemlja opazovanke odstraniti ob prvi priložnosti, vendar najpozneje ob odhodu opazovalke z ozemlja opazovanke.
9. Če opazovalka do točke vstopa, določene v uradnem obvestilu, ki je bilo dano v skladu s petim odstavkom I. razdelka IV. člena pogodbe, potuje s transportnim letalom, registriranim v opazovalki ali drugi državi pogodbenici, sme transportno letalo:
(A) odleteti z ozemlja opazovanke;
(B) če je točka vstopa enaka točki izstopa, ostati na točki vstopa do odhoda opazovalke z ozemlja opazovanke, ali
(C) če točka vstopa ni enaka točki izstopa, leteti do točke izstopa v času, ki omogoča posadki dodatni počitek pred odhodom vsega osebja opazovalke z ozemlja opazovanke.
10. Če je opazovalno letalo priskrbela opazovanka in opazovalka ne namerava uporabiti lastnega transportnega letala za prevoz svojega osebja s točke vstopa do letališča odprtih zračnih prostorov, opazovanka zagotovi, da je vse osebje opazovalke pripeljano s točke vstopa do letališča odprtih zračnih prostorov in z letališča odprtih zračnih prostorov do točke izstopa.
