No aircraft should stay grounded by paperwork.

Hespoire writes, checks and maintains the documents behind every drone flight authorisation. Weeks of consultant work become hours.

Illustrative chart, not for navigation. Zones are schematic. Base map from Natural Earth.

Every commercial drone flight with real risk needs a permit. Getting one means writing a risk assessment by hand, dozens of pages long, and starting over when the drone, the location or the mission changes.

Inspection, survey, film and delivery operators all have demand they cannot fly. Each new type of mission means another document cycle, another consultant and another wait. Growth stalls on paperwork.

How the specific category works
31EASA member states working from one drone rulebook
10steps in a SORA, from concept of operations to safety portfolio
6SAIL levels setting how much evidence an operation has to show
112days the ILT can take to decide on an accepted application

One file, kept true for as long as you fly.

1

Generate

The operator describes the drone, the area and the mission. Hespoire drafts the SORA and the operations manual from those structured inputs. Nobody starts from a blank page.

2

Check

Every claim and mitigation is checked against the current EASA rules. A gap comes back as a specific question, long before an authority could raise it.

More on check
3

Maintain

A new drone, a new location or a rule change touches some sections and leaves others alone. Only the affected sections are updated.

More on maintain
4

Reuse

Approved work carries forward. The operator’s second authorisation takes a fraction of the first.

Question for the operator

You claim M1(B) at medium robustness. How is access to the flight area restricted during the operation, and who enforces it?

Illustrative file with example values. Not a real application.

A file reaches the authority only once it passes.

Gaps go back to the operator as specific questions, not a rejection letter. When EASA updates a rule, every live file is re-checked and only what changed is flagged.

Authorisation flowOperator input goes to a drafted SORA and manual, then a rules check. If the rules pass, the file becomes authority-ready and is submitted to the ILT. If they do not, a gap is flagged and the operator adds detail, which returns to input.drone, area, missionOperator inputAI + EASA rule engineDraft SORA + manualRules pass?yesAuthority-ready filenoGap flaggedoperator answers a specific questionSubmitted to the ILT
