OSO7.L.I
Conformity check procedures must be developed which periodically ensures the following:
(a) The UAS intended to be used for the operation is in a condition for safe operation.
(b) The UAS configuration conforms to the UAS design data, including any design limitations, considered under the approved concept of operation.
OSO7.C1.L.A
Criterion 1 – Procedures
(a) The UAS conformity check procedure must include the UAS Designer instructions, if available.
(b) The Applicant must declare and provide evidence of compliance with the Integrity requirements. The detailed evidence of compliance may be assessed by the CAA.
OSO7.C2.L.A
Criterion 2 – Training
(a) The remote crew must be trained to perform the UAS conformity check.
(b) The Applicant must declare and provide evidence of compliance with the Integrity requirements. The detailed evidence of compliance may be assessed by the CAA.
Medium level of robustness (SAIL 3 and 4)
Lower robustness level requirements to be complied with:
• OSO7.L.I
• OSO7.C1.L.A
Additional requirements to be compiled with:
OSO7.M.I
No additional requirements.
OSO7.C1.M.A
Criterion 1 – Procedures
(a) The UAS conformity check procedures must make use of checklists.
(b) The Applicant must provide evidence of compliance with the Integrity requirements, which will be assessed by the CAA.
OSO7.C2.M.A
Criterion 2 – Training
(a) A training syllabus including a UAS conformity check procedure must be available.
(b) Evidence of theoretical and practical training must be available.
(c) The Applicant must provide evidence of compliance with the Integrity requirements, which will be assessed by the CAA.
High level of robustness (SAIL 5 and 6)
Lower robustness level requirements to be complied with:
• OSO7.L.I
• OSO7.C1.M.A
• OSO7.C2.M.A
Additional requirements to be compiled with:
OSO7.H.I
No additional requirements.
OSO7.C1.H.A
Criterion 1 – Procedures
The Applicant must provide evidence of compliance with the Integrity requirements, which will be assessed by the CAA. The CAA will validate continuing compliance through oversight.
OSO7.C2.H.A
Criterion 2 – Training
The Applicant must provide evidence of compliance with the Integrity requirements, which will be assessed by the CAA. The CAA will validate continuing compliance through oversight.

GM.OSO7
The intent of OSO 7 is that the Operator assures that the configuration of the UAS intended to be used for the operation conforms to the UAS design data considered under the SORA process. This OSO does not describe a pre- or post-flight inspection as part of normal operations, which is addressed in OSO 8.
GM.OSO7.C1.LA
(a) The periodicity of the conformity check should be included in the procedures.
(b) An example of design limitation is the maximum payload mass.
