If you’re trying to obtain a waiver from the FAA you should be looking into SORA. The Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) guidance represents the consensus of various national aviation authorities on a common process to identify, qualitatively assess, and manage the safety risk posed by unmanned aircraft systems(UAS), when preparing the safety case required for regulatory approval to conduct certain types of operations. It is the de facto standard for assessing the risks of a UAS operation.

In this session, you will receive an overview of SORA 2.0, the most recent edition of the guidance and learn how to evaluate the safety risks involved with the operation of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) of any class and size and type of operation (including military, experimental, R&D and prototyping). The instructors will guide you through the key concepts of SORA including the semantic model, the roles and responsibilities of key actors (eg. the operator, UAS manufacturer, etc.), assessing ground and air risk, identifying safety objectives and more.
