SORA processing times in EASA countries

Processing times of SORA applications in EASA countries, reported anonymously by drone operators.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a SORA operational authorisation take?

It depends on the country and on the application. This site collects anonymous reports from drone operators and shows the median processing time and an estimated decision date for each EASA country separately.

How is the estimated decision date calculated?

With the Kaplan–Meier method on the authority's own processing time. Time spent waiting for the applicant to answer a request for more information is excluded, and applications still in progress are taken into account so the estimate is not biased towards the fastest ones.
