Documents for obtaining a BVLOS permit for DJI M400 (General Permit + Operations Manual/OM + SORA)

The Operations Manual (OM) is the fundamental document for any drone operator intending to conduct flights based on an individual operating permit from the LBA. The OM consists of various sections, each containing information important for the smooth planning and execution of drone operations. It is one of the documents reviewed by the LBA during the application process. A solid preparation demonstrates the operator's reliability and professional approach to advanced drone flights for which the Open category or Standard Scenarios (STS) are insufficient.

If the Open category and STS scenarios do not meet the requirements of your planned flights, you must apply to the LBA for an individual permit. This permit allows you to conduct flights according to your own needs, as required to achieve your goal. Using the Operations Manual and the SORA risk assessment, you describe the planned flight, determine its risk level, and prove that you can limit and effectively manage it. The LBA evaluates your operation based on the submitted documents and – if everything is successful – issues an individual operating permit so you can implement your idea.

Appropriate documents such as the Operations Manual (OM), the SORA analysis, and the application must be prepared. When you buy our package, we prepare all documents for you. Additionally, we meet beforehand for an individual meeting where we check everything thoroughly. Should a pre-application meeting with the LBA be necessary, we will support you. In most cases, however, a pre-application meeting with the LBA is not necessary. OM, SORA, and the application for the permit must be sent to the LBA. The waiting time for the decision is between 4 and 16 weeks.
