DIGITAL RISK ASSESSMENT

wingman is a web-based software application that helps you to understand the risk of your planned drone flight, plan risk-reducing measures and comply with the legal requirements for authorisations. The risk analysis for flights in the special category (SORA) in particular is ideally covered in wingman: by uploading your flight plan, wingman automatically determines the ground and air risk of your flight for you and then guides you intuitively through all the steps of the SORA. At the end, you can export the SORA report and attach it to your application with the authorities.

With wingman, you can meet the legal requirements for flights in the special category (SORA) much more quickly and with less effort, allowing you to fly beyond visual range, over 120 metres or with cargo.

wingman is particularly helpful if you have planned flights that fall into the special category. These are, for example, flights over 120 metres (AGL), flights beyond visual range or drone missions where something needs to be transported. But wingman can also be useful for flights in the Open Category: Our interactive map contains more data than is currently provided by official authorities, such as detailed information about relevant areas on the ground, model airfields, nature reserves, obstacles, and others.

wingman currently contains all the necessary data for risk analyses within Austria. We are working flat out to extend it to other European countries.

The free version includes basic functions such as drone and document management as well as the use of the map, which can be useful for any drone pilot. Although a certain level of technical understanding and appropriate equipment is generally required for specific flights, depending on the application, we have endeavoured to make SORA in wingman as easy to understand and intuitive as possible. So you don’t have to be a SORA expert to perform a SORA in wingman. If you are stuck, please contact our team of consultants here.

In principle, you do not need to have an operator registration to register with wingman. However, in order to use wingman for SORAs, it is necessary to provide a registration number. Please note that a valid operator registration is a general requirement to be allowed to carry out professional drone flights.

Please create an account with wingman using your email and password. You must then verify the email address used, simply follow the instructions you receive by email after the initial account creation. You can then create an organisation after your first login. Your organisation represents your company and should have a drone operator registration.
Alternatively, you can continue as a user without creating an organisation and use some basic functions. For the time being, however, you cannot be invited to other organisations as a simple user.

Click on your user icon. In the user menu, you can manage the data of your personal user account under ‘My account’. Under ‘My organisation’ you can manage all relevant data of your organisation such as address, company register number or drone operator number. On the other hand, you can also create drones (required for SORA) and equipment there, as well as manage all your documents such as drone licences, certifications, insurance documents and others, so that you only have to attach them to the application later when creating a SORA.

A Specific Operation Risk Analysis is a special procedure with which the risk of your planned specific flight and the corresponding risk-minimising measures and circumstances are presented and explained in a structured manner. The SORA consists of 10 steps, including the determination of the risk on the ground and in the air, the description of risk-mitigating measures and the definition of operational safety objectives. The SORA is explained in the EASA Easy Access Rules for Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Unfortunately, from our point of view, the procedure is anything but ‘easy’, which is why we built wingman. Just give wingman a try and you will see that it is intuitively designed and guides you through the SORA step by step. If you still have difficulties, we will be happy to advise you.
