Consulting & Advisory for Drone Operations

Expert guidance for complex operations, compliance, and growth

Overview

As RPAS operations scale, the challenges change.

It’s no longer about:

  • Getting approval
  • Writing basic documentation

It becomes about:

  • Designing complex operations
  • Managing compliance at scale
  • Meeting client and audit requirements
  • Building a capable, sustainable operation

Uncrewed Approvals provides consulting and advisory services to help operators move beyond basic compliance into structured, high-performing operations.

What We Do

We work with operators and organisations to:

  • Solve complex operational and regulatory problems
  • Design scalable RPAS capability
  • Prepare for audits and high-assurance environments
  • Align operations with Civil Aviation Safety Authority requirements and industry expectations

Our approach is practical, direct, and grounded in real operational experience.

Our Consulting & Advisory Services

Regulatory Strategy

Plan your operation the right way from the start — or reset it properly.

We help you navigate regulatory pathways and avoid costly missteps.

Includes:

  • Approval strategy (ReOC, EVLOS, BVLOS, OONP)
  • Structuring operations to align with regulations
  • Identifying the most efficient approval pathways
  • Managing regulatory risk during expansion

Ideal for operators planning growth or new operational capabilities.

Complex Operation Design

Design operations that go beyond standard approvals.

We support the development of higher-risk or non-standard operations.

Includes:

  • Operational concept development
  • Risk-based operational design
  • Integration of observers, systems, and procedures
  • Alignment with advanced approvals (e.g. EVLOS, BVLOS)
  • Integration with SORA-style methodologies

Suitable for operators pushing into new or more complex environments.

Enterprise RPAS Capability Development

Build a structured, scalable drone capability within your organisation.

We work with organisations running multi-aircraft, multi-pilot operations.

Includes:

  • Operational framework design
  • Governance structures
  • Role definition (CRP, pilots, support crew)
  • Integration with existing business systems
  • Scaling strategy and capability planning

 Designed for enterprise and large-scale RPAS programs.

Audit & Compliance Reviews

Identify issues before regulators or clients do.

We conduct structured reviews of your operation against regulatory and operational requirements.

Includes:

  • Full compliance audits
  • Documentation and system reviews
  • Identification of compliance gaps
  • Practical recommendations for correction
  • Preparation for CASA or client audits

Provides clarity on where your operation actually stands.

BARS-RPAS Audit Preparation

Prepare for high-assurance, client-driven audit environments.

We support operators working toward Flight Safety Foundation BARS-RPAS alignment.

Includes:

  • Gap analysis against BARS audit criteria
  • Documentation alignment (manuals and SOPs)
  • Pre-audit readiness checks
  • Audit response preparation
  • Ongoing support through the audit process

 Essential for operators working with enterprise, mining, or energy clients.

How This Works

Our consulting is tailored to your operation.

Targeted Advisory

  • Focused support on a specific issue or project
  • Short-term engagement
  • Clear, actionable outcomes

Project-Based Engagement

  • End-to-end support for a defined objective
  • Example: audit preparation, operational expansion
  • Structured delivery with defined milestones

Ongoing Advisory

  • Continuous support as your operation evolves
  • Regular reviews and strategic input
  • Suitable for growing or enterprise operations

Who This Is For

  • ReOC holders expanding operational scope
  • Operators moving into EVLOS, BVLOS, or OONP
  • Organisations building internal RPAS capability
  • Operators preparing for audits or major clients
  • Enterprises requiring structured governance and oversight

Why It Matters

Without the right strategy and structure:

  • Approvals take longer than necessary
  • Compliance gaps go unnoticed
  • Operations become inconsistent
  • Growth stalls or creates risk

With the right advisory support:

  • Decisions are structured and defensible
  • Systems scale with the operation
  • Compliance becomes manageable
  • Capability grows with confidence
