SORA 2.5 compliance platform · DSAC Guide Ed.3
SkyPath 3D handles the geospatial analysis, containment and ballistics of your mission, then produces a pre-filled authorisation package, ready to file on METEOR, the French authority's portal.
From mission to SORA application: the full SkyPath 3D walkthrough.
Population density to sample, ground risk buffers to size, impact energy to compute, airspace to cross-check, then operational safety objectives to justify. Weeks of work, and a single inconsistency means a rejection.
SkyPath runs this analysis in one pass, on official data sources, with traceable calculations, and returns a flight corridor and Ground Risk Buffer ready for the authority.
Trajectory computed around densely populated areas and regulated airspace, with flight geography and associated volumes.
Sampling of population (WorldPop), buildings and roads (OSM) and terrain (SRTM) under your corridor and its adjacent area.
Ground Risk Buffer sizing, worst-case impact kinetic energy and exclusion volumes, following the DSAC Guide Ed.3 method.
iGRC / GRC, initial and residual ARC, SAIL, and automatic cross-check of the aeronautical zones crossed.
Pre-filled operational safety objectives for the SAIL obtained, to review and complete, never to write from scratch.
PDF application, KML, GeoJSON and geofencing files, with a guided assistant for filing on the DSAC portal.
As soon as a mission falls outside the standard scenarios, a SORA risk assessment is required. Since France's national scenarios S-1 to S-3 ended on 1 January 2026, this applies to many professional operations.
Since June 2026, drone spraying has been authorised in France for certain products on slopes of 20 % or more, banana plantations and mother vines, under DSAC authorisation. SkyPath computes the flight volumes and the buffer from inhabited areas.
For a swarm flying near spectators, SkyPath sizes the containment volumes, assesses population density and the adjacent area, and exports the volumes as KML for geofencing.
Construction sites, quarries, corridors: draw the area, SkyPath generates the survey pattern and the SORA analysis of the whole surface, including beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS).
Environmental campaigns, coastlines, wildlife monitoring, long-range missions in remote areas: a traceable risk assessment, from France to West Africa (ASECNA).
Long linear BVLOS missions where ground risk changes every kilometre: population, buildings and airspace analysed along the entire route.
Fire and rescue services, search and rescue, transport of medical samples or defibrillators: prepare emergency mission authorisations in advance.
Terrain is sampled along the whole track to guarantee the real flight height above ground, not a theoretical altitude.
Each volume (flight geography, contingency, Ground Risk Buffer) is computed, sized and documented following the DSAC Guide Ed.3 doctrine.
Rigour & compliance
SkyPath 3D is built on the JARUS SORA 2.5 methodology and the DSAC Guide Ed.3, and on official data sources (WorldPop population, OpenStreetMap buildings and roads, SRTM terrain). Every value (GRC, ARC, SAIL, Ground Risk Buffer, impact energy) is computed and displayed, not guessed.
The tool helps prepare the application; final verification and filing with the authority remain the operator's responsibility. That is why the accuracy and readability of every calculation is our priority.
