AUTHORISATIONS

Let us do the worrying.
You do the flying.

Helicus holds a multi-UA, multi-crew Light UA Operator Certificate (LUC). The highest level of operational authorisation under EU 2019/947. Our LUC allows us to self-authorise operations without requiring individual approvals from the competent authority for every mission.

We don’t just consult. We bring your crew into our operation. Trained, covered, and flying under a proven regulatory framework from day one.

With more than a decade of experience, we have integrated multiple crews into our operational framework — handling every phase: before, during, and after your missions.

Your mission becomes our joint mission.

THE PROBLEMS

01

PRE-FLIGHT

Approvals taking too long. Lengthy authorisation processes delay your operations and slow down deployment.

02

DURING FLIGHT

Safety management systems. Absent or incomplete safety procedures. No structured operational organisation.

03

POST-FLIGHT

Reports and audits. Operational efficiency suffers when post-flight compliance becomes a burden.

THE SOLUTIONS

01

PRE-FLIGHT

Flying under our authorisations

Building your own regulatory dossier takes months. Joining the Helicus framework does not.

Our LUC gives us the privilege to self-authorise operations across a broad operational envelope. No waiting for competent authority approval on every new mission profile. When your crew joins the Helicus operation, they fly under authorisations we already hold. You get airborne faster, with the regulatory groundwork already done.*

DURING FLIGHT

Fly under our procedures

Forget building an SMS from scratch. Your crew operates under Helicus-certified safety management procedures — the same framework used across all our active operations.

Through a structured onboarding and training programme, your crew becomes part of the Helicus operational organisation. They receive Helicus training, operate under Helicus procedures, and benefit from our full oversight structure. This is not a template handed over, it is active integration into a functioning, audited operation.**

POST FLIGHT

Backed by our compliance infrastructure

Post-flight reporting, occurrence management, and oversight audits are handled within the Helicus compliance framework. Your operations leave a clean, auditable trail, because ours always do.

We carry the compliance burden so your team stays focused on operations.***
