Tactical Air Risk Mitigation for SORA 2.5

Strengthen Your SORA Air Risk Mitigation

SafeSky helps drone operators strengthen their SORA 2.5 air risk mitigation by providing real-time situational awareness and evidence-based support for safer operations in mixed airspace.

Integrated directly into DJI FlightHub 2 and compatible platforms

What is SORA 2.5?

SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) is the EASA/JARUS framework for obtaining operational authorisations for drone operations in the "Specific" category, including BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operations.

SORA Edition 2.5 (released 2023) provides a structured methodology to assess and mitigate both ground risk and air risk for UAS operations.

Operations are classified by their SAIL level (I through VI), which determines the rigour of safety requirements. Most commercial BVLOS operations target SAIL II, III, or IV.

How SafeSky Supports SORA

  • Air Risk Classification (ARC)

    Supports air risk mitigation with real-time traffic awareness from 30+ sources

  • Tactical Mitigation (TMPR)

    Contributes to Tactical Mitigation Performance Requirements with dynamic alerts

  • Operational Safety Objectives (OSOs)

    Provides evidence-based inputs for your SORA documentation

  • Electronic Conspicuity

    Make your drones visible to manned aviation pilots through 15+ apps

Tactical Mitigation During Flight

SafeSky provides continuous, real-time monitoring of surrounding air traffic during drone operations, enabling the remote pilot or operations centre to detect potential conflicts early and apply predefined avoidance or abort procedures.

Early Detection

Identify potential conflicts before they become critical

Dynamic Alerts

Configurable warning levels (INFO, CAUTION, WARNING, CRITICAL)

Abort Procedures

Enable predefined avoidance manoeuvres when required

Understanding Air Risk Class (ARC)

Air Risk Class determines your SAIL level. Lower ARC = Lower SAIL = Simpler authorisation requirements.

SafeSky supports M2 tactical mitigation capability, helping you demonstrate air risk mitigation to your National Aviation Authority.

ARC-a

Lowest Risk

Atypical airspace with very low probability of encountering manned aircraft. Remote areas, below typical flight altitudes.

ARC-b

Low Risk

Low encounter probability. Typical target for BVLOS operations with proper mitigations in place.

ARC-c

Medium Risk

Moderate encounter probability. Controlled airspace or areas with regular GA traffic.

ARC-d

Highest Risk

High encounter probability. Airport vicinity, high-traffic airspace requiring maximum mitigations.

Multi-Source Traffic Awareness

SafeSky integrates traffic from multiple aviation sources for comprehensive situational awareness

ADS-B

Commercial and general aviation aircraft

FLARM

Gliders, GA, and helicopters

OGN

Very-low-level traffic sources

What You Get

  • Traffic datasets for specific times and regions
  • Heat maps showing traffic concentration at different altitudes
  • Exportable formats for regulatory documentation
  • Pattern analysis for route optimization

Applications

  • Assess typical density of manned aviation in your Area of Operation
  • Support airspace characterisation within SORA submissions
  • Plan new routes and operational corridors

Ground Stations

Enhance coverage and redundancy for critical BVLOS corridors

Why Add Ground Stations?

In some Areas of Operation, existing surveillance and community coverage may be insufficient to support new BVLOS corridors or achieve the desired level of redundancy for air risk mitigation.

SafeSky can deploy dedicated ground stations to capture signals from multiple aviation technologies, improving coverage and helping to provide evidence for SORA submissions.

Regulatory Positioning

SafeSky does not replace certified detect-and-avoid systems but enhances situational awareness as part of a layered risk mitigation strategy under SORA.

SafeSky supports SORA 2.5 Specific Category operations by providing traffic detection, dynamic alerting, and optional electronic conspicuity capabilities that contribute to M2 tactical mitigation. Using SafeSky does not guarantee flight authorisation or regulatory approval. Final compliance responsibility remains with the operator. All BVLOS operations require approval from your National Aviation Authority, who will assess your complete SORA submission according to their requirements.
