Updates

SORA - New population density bands - 4 March 2025

We have reviewed and introduced new population density bands associated with the specific operations risk assessment (SORA) criteria, adapted for the Australian environment. These additional population bands give industry greater flexibility in the operational area by providing a more accurate ground risk classification and reducing unnecessary control measures.

The industry responded positively to our ‘Assessing Ground Risk for Beyond Visual Line of Sight Operations’ webinar on 3 December 2024.

We are continuing to improve guidance and pathways for beyond visual line of sight operations and operations over and near people.

OP4: Conduct a gap analysis of CASR Parts to identify rule changes required to support RPAS and AAM operations

Sun, 2034-12-31 12:00

Conduct gap analysis of CASR Parts and supporting policies as needed. Detailed industry concepts of operation will help to identify changes required for regulatory readiness for RPAS and AAM operations. The outcome of this work could include the identification of new activities, such as OP4a and OP4b.

Principle: Progressive and internationally aligned.
