After a number of email and chat queries regarding developing an Operating Safety Case (OSC) to support a Permission For Commercial Operation (PFCO), in particular the content and where the CAA guidance templates are; please read the following and if you have any further queries we would be happy to assist.
The guidance is now only found within – CAP 722 – Unmanned Aircraft System Operations in UK Airspace – Guidance. If you haven’t yet found it, is here – http://publicapps.caa.co.uk/modalapplication.aspx?appid=11&mode=detail&id=415
The section that you require for creating your OSC starts with – UAS OSC Requirements – described on page – 36
Extract from CAP 722 – Please Refer to Original Document For Latest Content
This refers on to Table 4 on Page 37. And, depending on the aircraft mass and if you are planning to operate in a congested area – the table indicates which of the following volumes of a UAS OSC you need to populate. This is the information and these are the templates in CAP 722:
• Appendix A: Operational Factors for SUA Flights within Congested Areas page 118
• Appendix B: UAS OSC Volume 1 – Operations Manual Template page 123
• Appendix C: UAS OSC Volume 2 – Systems Template page 135
• Appendix D: UAS OSC Volume 3 – Safety Assessment Template page 143
And remember we are always happy to help you should you require it. We can cut through the jargon and help you quickly understand what is required and why.
