Abstract
In recent years, the Canadian airspace has experienced a significant rise in the deployment of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) across various industries, from remote sensing to package delivery. To regulate these operations, TC has adapted the Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) process [3], originally developed by the Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned Systems (JARUS), to establish a structured risk assessment procedure for Canadian operators. This tailored process was released in Advisory Circular (AC) 903-001 [1], which primarily focuses on assessing risks associated with beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations in the Canadian airspace. The risk evaluation encompasses a thorough examination of operational airspace, accounting for factors such as airspace class and the expected frequency of encounters with traditional aviation.
