UAS design verification and SORA
Support for unmanned aircraft systems from design verification to operational authorisation, with experts who have filed these packages with authorities.
What we do
Design verification support
At SAIL IV the design is verified by EASA against SC Light-UAS through a design verification report; at SAIL V and VI it needs a type certificate under Part 21. We prepare the design verification report application, the means of compliance proposal and the test evidence plan with your engineering team.
SORA-based risk assessment
The SORA 2.5 ten steps from ConOps to the OSO robustness table, with the comprehensive safety portfolio the authority receives, written with your operations team.
LUC support
The light UAS operator certificate application: the management system, the safety case and the privileges you ask for, with the authority interaction.
ConOps and operations manual
The concept of operations and the UAS operations manual in the Annex A structure, aligned with the risk assessment so the authority reads one consistent package.
Standards
- Regulation (EU) 2019/947 and 2019/945, June 2026 Easy Access Rules
- JARUS SORA v2.5, AMC1 to Article 11
- SC Light-UAS, DVR Guidelines Issue 3, EASA
How an engagement runs
An engagement starts with a scoping call and a written proposal that names the deliverables, the standards and the people. Work runs in your tools and your document system, with a weekly status and a single point of contact. Findings and authority correspondence are handled with you, never for you.
Questions
- Which SAIL levels do you support?
- All of them. At SAIL I to III a statement of compliance from the designer may be accepted; at SAIL IV the design verification report joins the package; at SAIL V and VI the design needs a type certificate. A high robustness claim for M2 or containment brings a limited DVR at any SAIL.
- Do you talk to the authority for us?
- With you. We prepare the material and join the meetings; the operator or manufacturer remains the applicant.
- Can you migrate a SORA 2.0 assessment to 2.5?
- Yes. The ground risk, air risk and OSO tables change; the ConOps usually carries over with edits.
- Do you cover national requirements outside EASA?
- Yes, for national authorities that apply their own rules on top of the EU framework, and for military UAS under STANAG 4671. Name the authority and we tell you what it changes.
