Drone Operation Risk Assessment Checklist

A page, not a binder: ground risk (who's under the flight path and how exposure is minimised), air risk (what else flies there and how you'd know), operational factors (crew, equipment, weather margins), each with the mitigation written down and a named person accepting the residual risk. That's the SORA logic at working scale — the EU formalises it; everywhere else it's simply what professional operations do before complex jobs, and what their insurers increasingly ask to see.

Yes — treat it as the safety baseline and extend it with your platform's quirks, your operations manual's requirements and the lessons your own incidents have taught. The method (sectioned, ordered, ticked live) matters more than any single line; a checklist that mirrors YOUR operation gets used on every job, and usage is the only metric that prevents anything.

No account and no connection are needed once the page has loaded — records live in local storage on your device and every calculation runs in your browser. Data doesn't sync between devices, so export the CSV when you want to move or archive your records.

Yes — one click exports your complete checklist record as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. The export preserves every column exactly as entered, so you can print it, attach it to paperwork, or hand it to an inspector, buyer or insurance underwriter as a supporting summary alongside your official records.
