SORA stands for Specific Operations Risk Assessment. It is the safety methodology developed by JARUS, a group of aviation experts from around the globe, including the CAA.
The CAA launched their policy consultation for a UK specific version of JARUS SORA 2.5, an internationally recognised set of recommendations and guidelines for conducting a risk assessment and meeting the required target levels of safety, including ensuring compliance with regulations and standards.
The expectation is that UK SORA will be implemented in H1 2025, via the DiSCO digital platform like PDRA01.
It is very important for OSC holders, and for those who wish to expand their operational authorisation beyond PDRA01.
