Ship test flights with a defensible
SORA risk assessment behind every sortie.
RA UAS Risk walks your team through the full SORA 10-step process, auto-sizes flight geography, computes GRC/ARC/SAIL, tracks OSO evidence and signs the campaign off as an immutable PDF — purpose-built for UAS flight-test operations.

FX10-NG Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) Operations (Testcopy)
- ConOps captured
- Intrinsic GRC: 3 (1m, controlled)
- ARC determination: ARC-b
- OSO evidence: 21/24 linked
- Sign-off pending Test Director
Flight Geography, Contingency Volume and Ground Risk Buffer — visualised
Draw the Flight Geography on a real satellite map and RA UAS Risk auto-buffers the CV and GRB to SORA v2.5. Switch to a tilted 3D view to inspect vertical separation at flight altitude before you ever take off.
- FG ⊂ CV ⊂ GRB nesting validated in real time
- Altitude-extruded volumes at your declared AGL
- Snapshots embedded straight into the signed PDF
- Multi-area campaigns with auto-merged buffers
From ConOps to signed PDF in one place
Every SORA step is a guided form mirroring the EASA Annex A template — no spreadsheets, no untraceable Word docs.
ConOps & Section 0
Operator, aircraft, site, intended ConOps and test-flight type (first flight, perf/HQ, BVLOS/DAA …) captured up front.
Zones on Google Maps
Draw FG on the map — CV and GRB buffers auto-compute. Toggle airspace layers, capture 2D / 3D snapshots straight into the report.
GRC · ARC · SAIL
Intrinsic GRC, mitigations M1/M2/M3, residual ARC and SAIL computed live against the SORA 2.5 tables.
OSO evidence rail
All 17 SORA 2.5 OSOs plus flight-test FT-OSOs side-by-side with your OM/DFTOM library and a live LLM compliance check per step.
Sign-off & review
Multi-role review chain, comments, share links, and locking. Once approved the artefact is immutable.
Immutable PDF artefact
Generates a signed SORA-T PDF including visual evidence (map snapshots), iGRC/SAIL tables and the full OSO matrix.
iGRC and SAIL, copied verbatim from SORA v2.5
No paraphrasing. The wizard renders the same matrices an EASA-trained safety auditor expects to see.

All 17 OSOs · plus flight-test FT-OSOs
Robustness levels per OSO follow SAIL. The wizard pre-fills the required level, you attach evidence from your OM / DFTOM library.
- L = Low · M = Medium · H = High robustness
- Evidence linked to live OM/DFTOM sections
- FT-OSOs auto-added per test-flight type (first-flight, BVLOS/DAA, payload …)
- LLM compliance check flags gaps before sign-off
OSO robustness vs. SAIL

| #08 · Operational procedures defined | L | M | H | H | H | H |
