SORA 2.5 · ARC & Air Risk Mitigations
ARC & Air Risk Mitigations: Practical application
Characterise the operational airspace and justify the initial ARC for each different airspace segment. Record strategic air-risk mitigations and justify the residual ARC after those mitigations. Describe the detection and avoidance method for VLOS/BVLOS; for BVLOS the TMPR robustness follows from the residual ARC. The calculated SAIL is a dossier check, not a determination or approval by the competent authority.
