Services in the areas of ConOps and SORA

We have the right solution for every requirement. We provide technical and operational consulting and support, taking into account the legal aspects of applying for operating permits, ConOps (Concept of Operation, operating manual) and SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment).



Together, we will compile your use cases and derive the risk assessment from them. Subsequently, the operating manual will be created, which, together with the SORA (Sustainable Operational Assessment), forms the basis of your application. We are also happy to assist you with the simplified operator concepts LUCs (Light UAS Operator Certificate).


With the transposition of EU drone legislation into national law, existing general permits and operating licenses must be replaced by new regulations. This presents a particular challenge for operators who wish or are required to operate their drone systems in a "specific" form.

In order to continue operating the existing UAS or even expand it if necessary, you will need to apply for a new operating permit.


This can range from simple to complex. Due to the legal specifics, you should consult our team of experts regarding ConOps and SORA. With our in-depth technical expertise, we will support you efficiently and are available to answer all your questions.

Naturally, we also support you in communication and exchange with the permitting authorities. Copting GmbH adapts entirely to your needs.
