Workshop: Requirements for SAIL IV Operations

Workshop: Requirements for SAIL IV Drone Operations

Workshop to analyze the requirements of SAIL IV drone operations, the concerns of the OEM and how to overcome hurdles. Many operators and OEMs are concerned about the requirements by EASA to fly in urban areas or above people. For logistics and infrastructure inspections but also for rescue services or large scale surveyance it is immanent to fly above cities and people with drones. In most cases these operations are described with SAIL IV operations, because of the Safe Operations Risk Analysis (SORA). The workshop will discuss these requirements and provide insights about the options to master the requirements. 

The workshop will not provide a battle of slides but allows to delve into a discussion about apparent challenges that may not be challenges at all. Also, it is intended to collect information for a checklist how to tackle the SAIL IV requirements as an OEM.

Topic: Workshop Requirements for SAIL IV Operations 

Description 

The Workshop Requirements for SAIL IV Operations will delve into the intricacies of ensuring drone compliance with SAIL IV conditions. Led by renowned expert Matthias Vyshnevskyy, this workshop aims to provide clarity on what Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) must deliver to provide the base for operators to gain approval for drone operations under SAIL IV conditions. Participants will engage in in-depth analyses, exploring necessary mitigations, understanding the significance of requirements like DAL C for software development, and discovering alternative measures to meet stringent standards.

Throughout the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to voice their doubts and challenges, leveraging real-world examples to tailor solutions that align with their unique circumstances. By the end of the session, attendees will collaboratively develop a comprehensive checklist for OEMs, outlining steps to design robust drones ready for operation under SAIL IV standards.
