When the work needs specific category approval.

The evidence, already kept

A UK SORA application asks you to show how you operate and prove that you do. That is exactly what the platform has been collecting: your aircraft and their class markings, your pilots and their qualifications, your standard operating procedures, your risk controls, and a dated airspace check with a flight log behind every job you have flown.

The people who do this for a living

COPTRZ handle the consultancy: what your application needs to argue, how to evidence it, and what the CAA will expect to see. You are not filling in a form on your own and hoping.

You bring the records. They bring the case. The application goes in with both.

The CAA stopped taking Operating Safety Case applications on 23 April 2025, and an OSC-based authorisation stayed valid only to its expiry date. So the next application is a UK SORA one. The evidence does not change: the fleet, crew, procedures and flight history you built the case on are what the new application asks for.

The SOP generator produces a standard operating procedure for your own operation to adopt. A UK SORA submission is an application to the CAA for permission to operate outside the open category, and it is a different document with a different bar.

Permission comes from the CAA, and from the airspace owner where one is involved. The platform shows you the airspace and keeps your evidence. The decision to fly stays with the remote pilot.

The operators who get through this quickly are the ones whose records were already in order. Keeping them on Pro or Team from the start is most of the work done.
