Operational Approvals Management

Keep your approvals current, usable, and under control

Overview

Getting an operational approval is only the first step.

Most issues arise after approval:

  • Conditions are misunderstood
  • Approvals lapse
  • Procedures don’t match what was approved
  • Teams apply approvals incorrectly

That’s where risk builds.

Uncrewed Approvals provides structured management of operational approvals to ensure your operation remains compliant with Civil Aviation Safety Authority requirements — and that your approvals actually work in practice.

What This Service Does

We manage your approvals as a system.

This allows you to:

  • Know exactly what approvals you hold
  • Understand how they apply operationally
  • Keep them current and valid
  • Use them consistently across your team

This is about control — not just approvals on paper.

What’s Included

Approval Register & Tracking

Maintain full visibility of all approvals.

Includes:

  • Centralised approval register
  • Conditions, limitations, and scope tracking
  • Expiry and renewal monitoring
  • Version control for updated approvals

Operational Approval Types Managed

We manage a wide range of approvals, including:

  • EVLOS (Class 1 & 2)
  • BVLOS and advanced operations
  • Operations Over or Near People (OONP)
  • Controlled airspace and area approvals
  • Aerodrome operations
  • Shielded operations and operations above 400 ft

Ensures all approvals are captured and controlled in one system.

  • Clear breakdown of approval conditions

Prevents lapses and supports growth.

Audit Readiness (Approvals Focus)
