BVLOS Risk Assessment Requirements

In plain language

When applying for a BVLOS permit, you must evaluate both the risk of colliding with other aircraft (air risk) and the risk of hurting people or damaging property on the ground (ground risk).

Requirement as structured

CAAS requires operators applying for BVLOS operations to assess the severity and probability of both air risk (collisions and proximity with other aircraft) and ground risk (accidents involving persons and property).

Original regulatory text

In identifying the risk category of an intended BVLOS operation, the operator should assess the severity and probability of two main risks in that operation: (a) Air risk, in the form of collision risk, air proximity, accidents/incidents with manned and unmanned aircraft; and (b) Ground risk, in the form of accidents/incidents involving persons and property on the ground.
