The evidence, already kept. Your aircraft and their class markings, your pilots and their qualifications, your SOPs, your risk controls, and a dated airspace check with a flight log behind every job you have flown.
UK SORA support
Specific category work. Your records, their case.
Flying outside the open category, closer to people, beyond visual line of sight, or heavier than the rules normally allow, needs an operational authorisation from the CAA. Since 23 April 2025 that application is made under UK SORA, which replaced the Operating Safety Case.
We put you in touch with our UK SORA partners, who handle the consultancy and quote per case.

A UK SORA application asks you to show how you operate and prove that you do. The application goes in with both.

Before you apply. What it is, and what it is not.
Where PDRA01 covers the flight
It remains the simpler route. UK SORA is for everything it does not. Either way it is a serious piece of work, and it is not something software writes for you.
If you came here for the OSC
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.
An SOP is not an application
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.
Nothing here is approval
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.
Start before you need it
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.
