Providing practical, industry-developed standard operating procedures to support safe, consistent, and professional operational practices across New Zealand’s commercial uncrewed aviation sector.
Industry SOP Library
16 February 2026
Current stage: Initial Planning
UAVNZ is developing a shared repository of practical standard operating procedures (SOPs) for common operational and safety practices within the commercial uncrewed aviation sector.
These resources are intended to support operators by providing clear, practical guidance on topics such as LiPo battery handling and management, operational briefings, emergency landing procedures, aircraft maintenance logging and data handling, helping promote safe and consistent practices across the industry.
The SOP library will be made freely available to the sector, supporting both new and established operators in implementing professional operational standards.
