Built for drone operators in Sweden
Drone operations software for Sweden
Flight logging, fleet and maintenance management, checklists, and SORA 2.5 risk assessment templates for drone operators in Sweden — one platform for the documentation the specific category demands.
Commercial drone operators in Sweden work under the common European rules, with Transportstyrelsen as the national authority. For operations in the specific category that means an operational authorisation, an operations manual, a documented risk assessment, and records that show every flight was planned and flown to standard. UAV-Planner keeps that documentation as a by-product of daily operations: flights are logged as structured data, pilots and certificates sit in one register, and the evidence an inspector asks for is a filter and an export rather than a reconstruction.
Operating in the specific category in Sweden
Sweden follows the EASA drone framework, and Transportstyrelsen (the Swedish Transport Agency) is the regulator that registers operators, issues operational authorisations, and supervises the specific category. If your missions go beyond the open category — heavier aircraft, flights over people, higher altitudes, or beyond visual line of sight — you generally need an operational authorisation built on a documented risk assessment, an operations manual that describes how you actually work, and procedures your crews follow in the field. The paperwork is not a one-off, either: the authorisation assumes your documentation stays current as aircraft, pilots, and procedures change. That is the part a spreadsheet handles badly and an operations platform handles as routine.
Flight records with three-year retention
Operators in the specific category must keep records of their UAS operations, and the documentation tied to an operational authorisation must generally be retained for at least three years. In practice that means every flight needs a durable, retrievable record — when, where, which pilot, which aircraft, and what happened — that survives staff changes and device swaps. UAV-Planner logs each flight as structured data with pilot, aircraft, location, and time, so the three-year record is simply your flight history. When Transportstyrelsen, an insurer, or a client asks for documentation, you filter and export instead of digging through inboxes and old phones.
SORA 2.5 templates for drone risk assessment
SORA, the Specific Operations Risk Assessment, is the methodology behind most specific category authorisations in Europe, and SORA 2.5 is its current version. UAV-Planner ships with structured SORA 2.5 templates that take the assessment step by step — ground risk, air risk, mitigations, and the resulting operational requirements — so the document you build for an application follows the methodology instead of a home-made format. Because the templates live next to your fleet, pilot, and flight data, the assessment stays consistent with how the operation actually runs, which is exactly what a reviewer checks.
Fleet, pilots, and checklists in one register
The rest of the documentation burden is operational: which aircraft are serviceable, which pilots are current, whether the pre-flight checks were actually run. UAV-Planner holds the fleet register with service status and flight hours, tracks pilot certificates and warns before they expire, and builds pre- and post-flight checklists into the flight record so completing them is part of the mission rather than a separate chore. Role-based access keeps operations leaders, safety managers, and pilots working from the same source of truth without disturbing what they should not touch.
EU data residency and enterprise access
UAV-Planner runs on infrastructure in Frankfurt, so operational data stays inside the EU/EEA — a requirement many Swedish enterprises and public bodies put in writing before approving a system. SAML single sign-on lets larger organisations bring UAV-Planner under their own identity provider, and the multi-tenant company hierarchy supports parent companies with subsidiaries or regional units that need separate workspaces with shared oversight. The platform is bilingual (English and Norwegian), with English as the working language for international teams.
What you get
- Flight logging with pilot, aircraft, and location
- Fleet and maintenance register
- Pre- and post-flight checklists
- SAML SSO and EU/EEA data residency (Frankfurt)
Ready for inspections and audits
Keep the records your operational authorisation assumes — flights, pilots, aircraft, and risk assessments — structured and exportable, so a question from the authority or a client is answered with a filter and a download. UAV-Planner supports your compliance process; the operational responsibility stays with you as the operator.

Frequently asked questions
Do drone operators in Sweden have to keep a flight log?
In the specific category, yes — operators must keep records of their UAS operations under the EASA rules, and documentation tied to an operational authorisation must generally be retained for at least three years. In the open category there is no general logbook requirement, but many commercial operators keep one anyway for insurers, clients, and their own overview.
What is SORA 2.5 in drone operations?
SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) is the methodology used to assess the risk of a drone operation in the specific category, and 2.5 is its current version. It works through ground risk, air risk, and mitigations to arrive at the requirements your operation must meet. UAV-Planner includes structured SORA 2.5 templates so the assessment follows the methodology step by step.
Is Transportstyrelsen the authority for drones in Sweden?
Yes. Transportstyrelsen, the Swedish Transport Agency, registers drone operators, issues operational authorisations in the specific category, and supervises compliance in Sweden. UAV-Planner helps you keep the documentation those processes ask for, but authorisations and approvals always come from the authority.
Where is our data stored?
On infrastructure in Frankfurt, Germany, inside the EU/EEA. Each company’s data is kept isolated with role-based access and row-level security, and you can export your data at any time.
Does UAV-Planner support SSO and larger organisations?
Yes. SAML single sign-on connects UAV-Planner to your own identity provider, and the multi-tenant company hierarchy lets a parent organisation run subsidiaries or regional units as separate workspaces with shared oversight.
How is UAV-Planner priced?
UAV-Planner is priced per pilot, so cost scales with your team rather than a fixed enterprise tier. See the pricing page for current plans, or request a demo to talk through your operation.
