UAS Policy Consultation - Recognised Assessment Entity – Flightworthiness and SAIL Mark

Closed 8 Nov 2024

Opened 16 Aug 2024

Overview

We have launched a consultation on the introduction of Recognised Assessment Entities for Flightworthiness – RAE(F) organisations – and a related SAIL Mark policy.

These new policies will complement UK SORA to enable Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations at scale. UK SORA will become the primary risk assessment policy framework for the future of the Specific category.

This consultation forms part of the UK Civil Aviation Authority's (CAA) ongoing work to enable Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to operate in UK Airspace in the Specific Category, a key component of the CAA Future of Flight Programme.
