Why do I need SkySync?

Updated this week

As a drone pilot Skysync is vital.

ORA

Under SORA, you must demonstrate that technical mitigations—including the reliability of the aircraft—are in place and maintained.

Regular, documented maintenance reduces the risk of technical failure, supporting M2 (Ground Risk Mitigation) and OSO #5 (UAS technical design).

GVC

GVC holders must operate to the procedures set out in their Operations Manual—including defined maintenance intervals and record-keeping.

CAA inspectors may request proof of compliance with maintenance schedules at any time.

SkySync automates reminders for service intervals, logs every maintenance action, and can flag when equipment is out of service, ensuring GVC requirements are met without manual tracking.

L1 and L2

L1 and L2 means operating in higher-risk environments—more stringent mitigations are required to prevent failure in-flight.

Any lapse in maintenance could increase the likelihood of a technical incident, which could breach OSOs related to technical containment, safety assurance, and robustness of systems.

SkySync ensures you have evidence-based, preventative maintenance—reducing the chance of grounding a mission due to an unserviceable aircraft.
