Question 1

Does Drone OPS Mission replace official sources?

Accepted Answer

No. Drone OPS Mission is a decision-support tool. The remote pilot must always check the official sources (SIA, NOTAM/AZBA), local restrictions and applicable authorisations before every flight.

Question 2

What is the PRO version for?

Accepted Answer

The PRO version adds the SIA/RTBA/SUP AIP layers, airspace analysis, sensitive areas, nearby aerodromes, the full GO/NOGO weather briefing, 3D visualisation and traceability to prepare professional or recurring flights.

Question 3

Does Drone OPS Mission include the 2026 DGAC regulations?

Accepted Answer

The platform includes the rules in force: EU Regulation 2019/947, the French Order of 3 December 2020, the open (A1/A2/A3) and specific (STS-01/STS-02) categories and DSAC authorisations with SORA/PDRA. The rule set is versioned and time-stamped for each analysis. This is a decision-support tool: responsibility for the operation remains with the remote pilot.

Question 4

What is the difference between the open and specific categories?

Accepted Answer

The open category (subcategories A1, A2, A3) covers low-risk flights with class C0 to C4 drones, without prior authorisation. The specific category covers operations that do not fit the open category, through a STS-01/STS-02 declaration or a DSAC authorisation based on SORA/PDRA.

Question 5

Does the platform work outside France?

Accepted Answer

Drone OPS Mission is optimised for French regulations and SIA airspace. Weather data (OpenMeteo) and the Kp index (NOAA) are available across Europe, but the regulatory analysis relies on French and European (EASA) texts.

Question 6

How does the GO / NO-GO decision work?

Accepted Answer

The GO/NO-GO engine analyses each rule independently (wind, visibility, airspace, Kp index, flight scenario) and produces a PASS, WARN or FAIL result with the exact regulatory reference. The overall decision is GO, GO_WITH_CONDITIONS or NO_GO. A legal disclaimer is always displayed: final responsibility always lies with the remote pilot.
