Operational Authorization for PDRA

In plain language

If you want to fly under a PDRA in the Specific category, you do not need to perform a full risk assessment, but you must still apply for and receive an operational authorization from the Romanian Civil Aviation Authority (AACR) by submitting a completed PDRA table and an operations manual.

Requirement as structured

To legally conduct flight activities under a Predefined Risk Assessment (PDRA), the UAS operator must obtain an operational authorization from the AACR by completing the PDRA table, developing an operational manual, and submitting an application.

Original regulatory text

In scopul de a desfasura activitati de zbor in conditii de legalitate PDRA necesita o autorizatie operationala emisa de AACR. In acest caz procesul va fi mult simplificat insa. Astfel in cazul in care operatiunea planificata este acoperita de unul din PDRA-urile publicate, Operatorul UAS in loc sa efectueze evaluarea riscului, va completa tabelul PDRA, va elabora manualul operational si va depune cererea la AACR.
