Description

Most drone operations that matter commercially fall into the specific category, and the specific category runs on a risk assessment: SORA. This course will take you through SORA 2.5 step by step, so you understand what the authority expects, why each step leads to the next, and how the pieces end up in an application.

The course is being updated to SORA 2.5 and is not on sale at the moment. Write to me and I will tell you when it reopens.

What the course will cover

• Where SORA sits in Regulation (EU) 2019/947, who does what, and the checks to run before you start.
• The concept of operations (ConOps) and the operational volumes.
• Ground risk: the intrinsic ground risk class from population density, and the mitigations that lower it.
• Air risk: the initial air risk class, strategic and tactical mitigations, and the residual air risk.
• The SAIL and the operational safety objectives (OSOs), with their levels of robustness.
• Containment and the documents you submit, plus standard scenarios, PDRAs and the LUC as alternatives.

If you are preparing an application, I can review your SORA and operations manual, or train your team: a two-day live SORA 2.5 workshop online (€1,090 per participant) or in-company training. Ask me for a quote.
