OSO9.C1.L.I
Criterion 1 – Remote Pilot Competence
(a) The remote pilot must have at least the following theoretical knowledge:
(1) Air law.
(2) Aircraft general knowledge.
(3) Human performance and limitations.
(4) Meteorology.
(5) Operational procedures including:
(i) Airspace
(ii) Navigation
(iii) Flight planning
(b) Other members of the flight crew must be competent for their assigned tasks
OSO9.C2.L.I
Criterion 2 – Type Training
A training programme must be developed by the operator. The training must be proportional to the risk of the operation but as a minimum must cover the following subjects:
(a) UA specific technical knowledge.
(b) Operator specific procedures including.
(1) Operational procedures and ERP.
(2) ERP.
(c) Use of external services, including service limitations and system recovery if any.
OSO9.C1.L.A
Criterion 1 – Remote Pilot Competence
The Applicant must declare and provide evidence of compliance with the Integrity requirements. The detailed evidence of compliance may be assessed by the CAA
OSO9.C2.L.A
Criterion 2 – Type Training
The Applicant must declare and provide evidence of compliance with the Integrity requirements. The detailed evidence of compliance may be assessed by the CAA.
AMC.OSO9.C1.L.I
(a) The remote pilot(s) hold a valid remote pilot competence certificate issued by a CAA approved Recognised Assessment Entity.
(b) The privileges and conditions of the certificate are sufficient for the proposed operation in accordance with UK Regulation (EU) 2019/947 Article 8 AMC(1).
AMC.OSO9.C2.L.I
Annex E – AMC 1 Integrity and assurance levels for the Operational Safety Objectives (OSO) paragraph 1.5 provides further information about proposing a standard as an AMC.
Medium level of robustness (SAIL 3 and 4)
Lower robustness level requirements to be complied with:
• OSO9.C1.L.I
• OSO9.C2.L.I
Additional requirements to be compiled with:
OSO9.C1.M.A
The Applicant must provide evidence of compliance with the Integrity requirements, which will be assessed by the CAA.
OSO9.C2.M.A
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:
• OSO9.C1.L.I
• OSO9.C2.L.I
Additional requirements to be compiled with:
OSO9.C1.H.A
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.
OSO9.C2.H.A
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.
GM1 Article 11 Annex E. Operational Safety Objective 9
CAA ORS9 Decision No. 46
GM.OSO9
OSO 9 is divided into two criteria for UK SORA to consider the remote pilot competence framework.
-
C1 sets out how the applicant should demonstrate that remote pilots and crew are competent.
-
C2 sets out how the applicant should demonstrate the operator has trained its flight crew on the specific UA type and the operator SOPs.
