Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) is a methodology developed by the Joint Authority on Rulemaking for Unmanned Systems (JARUS) for safely conducting and evaluating Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) operations in specific airspace. Many regulators, including Transport Canada (TC), the civilian aviation authority in Canada, have adopted the SORA approach to guide RPAS operators in their applications for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flight. Although the qualitative approach on how to assess the performance of a Detect and Avoid (DAA) system is outlined in the SORA, a quantitative and agreed-upon approach, on how to ensure that the specific DAA system meets the required Risk Ratio criteria, has yet to be established. This paper proposes a practical approach to determining the Risk Ratio, considering sensor performance, RPA maneuvering characteristics, and airspace specifics. The developed approach relies on publicly available modelling frameworks and airspace models. Illustrative examples of applying the method to determine the Risk Ratio of specific DAA systems are presented in the paper along with a discussion on the challenges of implementing SORA into BVLOS regulations for RPAS.
