To recap, traffic that is cooperative is traffic that is willingly broadcasting its information. UAVs equipped with a flight plan, regardless of complete conformity to that flight plan, fall under the 'authorized' category. Deviating from the stipulated lateral area, altitude, or time detailed in the flight plan classifies them as 'non-conforming'. Nonetheless, they do retain the 'authorized' classification. Traffic flying inside of a Control Zone without a Flight Plan or flying inside a Flight Plan Area without an associated registration number is categorized as an intruder.

For each of these categories, a separate colour exists to indicate its status. Note that there is no distinction made in cooperativeness, only in terms of ‘authorized’, ‘conform’ and ‘intruder’.

If a drone is authorized, i.e., its serial number is part of a flight plan, it will always turn green. Depending on whether it is conforming, it can have no pulse, a yellow pulse, or a red pulse:

If a single drone is flying within a flight plan area without its serial number being part of that flight plan, it is assumed authorized. This state has been created because of possible typo’s in the provided data:

As soon as the UAV flies outside of the flight plan constraints, or there are two or more UAVs adhering to the flight plan constraints, both UAVs are assumed not authorized. However, when the other drone’s registration number actually corresponds to the flight plan, that specific drone becomes authorized, whilst the other drone still becomes unauthorized. When there is once again only one of the UAV’s adhering to the flight plan constraints, that specific drone is once again assumed authorized and retrieves its yellow colour.

If a drone is not authorized, its icon will change colour depending on the situation:
