With the upcoming SORA 2.5 and its quantitative ground risk assessment, services providing reliable population density data will support the safety of UAS operations.

This workshop will be an opportunity to exchange information and get a wider and more precise understanding of what industry may offer as of today for the evaluation of the population density. The scope of the workshop will be to identify the parameters that should be considered and the minimum performance for a service that may be accepted by national aviation authorities.

The level of performance may be linked to the risk of the operation, identifying potentially cases where static maps may be enough. It will be discussed also how these services can be assessed and how they may be used by UAS operators in relation to their SORA safety cases and their operations.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS (CLOSED)

EASA collected inputs from companies which are providing population density data, and which will bring their technical knowledge/expertise and will give an overview on the population density data which are currently available.
