WHAT?

UAS Airworthiness and Safety Training

Operations of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are rapidly expanding across civil aviation, covering a wide range of configurations, missions, and operational contexts.

In response to this evolution, European regulations introduced a risk-based framework in June 2019, defining three operational categories: Open, Specific and Certified. This structure now forms the basis of all UAS flight authorisation processes within Europe.

However, the regulatory environement – supported by evolving EASA guidance materials – can appear complex and difficult to navigate without structured training.

This courses provides a clear and structured overview of the UAS regulatory framework and explains how airworthiness and safety requirements apply in practice.

WHY?

Why attend this training?

• Gain a comprehensive understandinf of the latest UAS regulatory framework and flight approval/certification process.
• Identify operational risks linked to UAS activities and understand safety assessment principles.
• Apply a risk-based approach using design and/or operational mitigation measures.
• Prepare inputs to the Operational Risk Assessment in line with the JARUS SORA methodology, including the latest version 2.5.
• Understand how to support flight authorisation and certification processes in the Specific and Certified categories.

WHO?

Who should attend?

This course is designed for professionals involvec in the design, manufacturing, operation, or regulation of Unmanned Aicraft Systems, including:

• UAS manufacturers and system designers
• Operators and mission planners
• Regulatory aythorities and certification bodies
• Safety assessment and compliance specialists
• Project and technical managers involved in flight authorisation processes

It is particularly relevant for professionals who are actively engaged in (or facing challenges with) the UAS flight auhtorisation process.

Additional benefits

To complement the training session, participants benefit from a comprehensive set of reference materials and networking opportunities.

Included documentation

Participants receive access to key standards developed by EUROCAE, including:

• ED-279
• ED-280
• ED-375 Vol.1
• ER-010
• ER-019

These documents represent a significant value and provide essential reference material to support both the training and future projects.

Networking opportunities

The course also offers valuable opportunities to connect with industry professionals, share experience and exchange best practices in airborne software certification.

Catering included

Lunch is provided during the training, offering additional time for informal discussions and nextworking.
