At Hover UAV, our Baseline Risk Assessment is the foundation of safe and compliant drone operations, especially for organisations seeking complex approvals such as BVLOS, EVLOS, or OONP.

We follow a structured, CASA- and CAA-aligned methodology to identify, assess, and mitigate the operational risks specific to your use case.

If you’re unsure whether your operation requires a Baseline Risk Assessment or want to get started, contact us — our experts are here to help you navigate every step of the approval process.

Flight Test Preparation is the process of getting ready for your formal BVLOS flight test with CASA (or other aviation authorities), which is a critical milestone in gaining BVLOS approval. It ensures your organisation, crew, and procedures are operationally sound, risk-aware, and compliant before conducting Beyond Visual Line of Sight missions. 

Having successfully delivered numerous BVLOS assessments, Hover UAV knows exactly what regulators are looking for—and we’ll help you navigate the process with precision and clarity.

Using compliance software in RPAS operations offers a powerful way to simplify, streamline, and scale your drone program while ensuring full regulatory alignment. These platforms centralise critical documentation such as operations manuals, flight logs, pilot certifications, and maintenance records, making it easy to stay organised and audit-ready. Automated workflows—like pre-flight checklists, airspace assessments, and maintenance schedules—reduce human error and ensure consistent adherence to procedures.

At Hover UAV, we don’t just recommend software—we help you implement it successfully. Our team works with you to customise and configure your system based on your unique operational requirements, approvals, and risk profile.

An Organisational Health Check is a proactive assessment of your drone program’s compliance, documentation, and operational readiness. It provides a clear snapshot of how well your organisation aligns with regulatory requirements, internal procedures, and industry best practices. Think of it as a compliance “health scan” that helps identify gaps, risks, and opportunities for improvement—before they become problems.

BARS Audit Preparation refers to the process of getting your drone operation ready for a formal audit under the BARS (Basic Aviation Risk Standard) Program, managed by the Flight Safety Foundation. This globally recognised framework is used by major resource, mining, and energy companies to assess the safety and compliance of contracted aviation operators—including RPAS providers.

For drone operators seeking to work in high-risk or safety-critical environments (such as offshore platforms, mine sites, or infrastructure corridors), BARS registration is often a prerequisite. The audit process is rigorous and requires a detailed demonstration of robust safety systems, documented procedures, and operational discipline.

With extensive experience supporting drone operators in safety-sensitive sectors, Hover UAV ensures your operation is not only BARS-ready but also positioned to meet the high expectations of tier-one clients.

Outsourced CRP services allow your organisation to meet regulatory requirements by appointing a qualified and experienced Chief Remote Pilot (CRP) from outside your business. This is especially valuable for companies starting out, scaling quickly, or lacking in-house aviation compliance expertise.

The CRP is a regulatory requirement under CASA (ReOC) and CAA (Part 102) approvals, responsible for ensuring all drone operations are safe, compliant, and properly documented. However, finding someone with the right mix of aviation knowledge, operational experience, and regulatory understanding can be challenging, especially for BVLOS, EVLOS, or high-risk operations.

Hover UAV provides outsourced CRP services to help you operate legally and confidently without needing to hire a full-time in-house expert. Our CRPs are highly qualified, regulator-recognised professionals who:

• Oversee day-to-day drone operations

• Maintain and update your operations manual and documentation

• Ensure compliance with CASA or CAA requirements

• Review and approve flight plans, risk assessments, and training records

• Manage incident reporting and internal safety audits

• Support operational growth, including new approval submissions

We act as your trusted compliance partner, providing strategic and operational guidance while ensuring your drone program meets all regulatory obligations.
