The Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned Systems (JARUS) is currently consulting on a future Specific Operating Risk Assessment (SORA), which enables operators to classify the risk posed by a drone being flown in the specific category and then identify mitigations and safety objectives. 

The CAA is encouraging UK operators to respond to this consultation as they will use this work to build a specific SORA for operations in the UK. 

The JARUS consultation is open until 6 March 2023 and can be completed online at JARUS External Consultation – “SORA Version 2.5 package”
