Risk Assessment for VLOS Operations Over Roads

In plain language

When applying for a permit to fly a drone over roads within your line of sight, you must perform a risk assessment and outline safety mitigations for CAAS to review.

Requirement as structured

CAAS requires operators applying for an Operator Permit or Class 1 Activity Permit involving visual line of sight operations over roads to conduct a risk assessment and incorporate safety mitigations, which will be reviewed as part of the permit assessment process.

Original regulatory text

This framework serves to guide operators to perform the necessary risk assessment on their intended UA operations over roads and mitigate risks to public to the maximum extent possible. The risk assessment performed, and mitigations incorporated will be reviewed as part of the permit assessment process.
