PDRA01 audit readiness tool

Drone paperwork
made simple.

The CAA doesn't read your Operations Manual when you apply for PDRA01 — they ask for it when they audit you. Answer a guided form and generate your Operations Manual, logs, checklists and audit gap list in minutes.

Practical guides.

Not a PDRA01 application service: one guided form creates an editable CAP2606 Operations Manual and the connected records needed for CAA oversight.

02

PDRA01 Audit Pack and Operations Manual Generator

Not a PDRA01 application service: one guided form creates an editable Operations Manual, CAA audit-record templates and an audit gap checklist.

Create an editable PDRA01 flight log template covering aircraft, pilot, site, duration, conditions, issues and post-flight actions.

Plan a PDRA01 site survey covering permissions, airspace, hazards, people, access control, weather and emergency landing options.

05

PDRA01 Risk Assessment & Emergency Procedures

06

07

Do I Need PDRA01? UK Commercial Drone Rules

Work out whether your UK drone operation needs PDRA01, fits the Open category, or needs a full UK SORA — with the questions that decide it.

08

Remote Pilot Qualifications for PDRA01

Which qualifications a remote pilot needs to fly under PDRA01 — a Flyer ID plus an RPC-L1 or GVC — and how the GVC is being replaced by the CAA's RPC scheme.

09

Operator ID vs Flyer ID for UK Drones

The difference between a CAA Operator ID and a Flyer ID, who needs each, and how both fit into a PDRA01 operation.

10

A2 CofC vs GVC and RPC-L1

How the A2 Certificate of Competency compares with the GVC and RPC-L1 — and which one your operation actually needs.

11

PDRA01 vs UK SORA: Which Route Might You Need?

Understand the difference between PDRA01 and UK SORA for UK drone operations and recognise common reasons an operation may fall outside PDRA01.

12

UK SORA Application Process: Assessment 1 and 2
