PDRA enables operators to obtain an operational authorization without having to complete a full SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment).
Instead, an already predefined risk assessment can be used that corresponds to the operator's intended type of operation,
which makes the process faster, smoother and more efficient.
PDRA makes it easier for drone operators to get started with their operations more quickly without undergoing time-consuming and individual risk assessments, while meeting safety requirements.
Holding an operational authorization under a PDRA before undertaking a full-scale SORA gives the operator a head start
in the journey towards more advanced states.
