The New Regulatory Framework for Drone Operations
In recent years, commercial drones, or Unmanned Air Systems (UAS), have become an integral part of various industries, enabling access to remote locations and facilitating applications such as industrial inspections and surveillance. However, to ensure the safe operation of drones, stringent safety standards and regulatory frameworks must be adhered to. Thales, a prominent aerospace company, has been instrumental in developing guidelines and technology solutions to support drone operators in meeting these requirements.
Assessing Risk through the SORA Methodology
To address the safety concerns associated with drone operations, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) introduced the Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) methodology. This approach allows drone operators to systematically evaluate the risks associated with their operations and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. By categorizing operations based on risk levels and providing guidelines for risk mitigation, the SORA methodology helps drone operators assess and manage safety effectively.
