Own it forever
A perpetual local licence, not a subscription. Stop paying and the software keeps running, with your data on your server.
EASA flight operations platform
The compliance system of record for regulated UAV operations.
A UAV operation is not just flights. It is a regulated business process, from first customer contact through SORA-compliant risk assessment and checklist-gated execution to signed deliverables and invoicing.
KestrelWorks captures every step offline, on hardware you own, under a licence you keep.
80+structured tables in one unified operational data model
20+generated report types, each with a required-signature slot
7operational roles enforced at UI, session and database layer
0bars of signal required to fly a full mission in the field
Why operators move
Built for the part of the job that is not flying.
A real SORA engine
OPEN screening, STS/PDRA matching, computed Ground and Air Risk Class, SAIL determination and the full OSO checklist.
One unbroken thread
Enquiry, quote, contract, work order, risk assessment, flight log, signed deliverable and billing proposal in one record chain.
The operational thread
From first contact to signed deliverable.
Sell
CRM pipeline, customers, sites, quotes and contracts.
Assess
SORA, dynamic risk, airspace and weather checks.
Dispatch
Crew, aircraft and equipment booked against one calendar.
Fly
Digital checklist, declarations, Go/No-Go and offline logs.
Close
Review, signed report package and billing proposal.
Platform
The whole operation, in the order it happens.
Nine linked processes, from the first customer conversation to the signed report and billing proposal. They all write to the same data model, so a flight log updates airframe hours, a defect grounds an aircraft, and a grounding blocks a dispatch.
CRM, sites and sales pipeline
Durable customer records, GPS sites, hazard notes and versioned commercial documents.
Operations and mission management
Role-specific work orders, booking calendar and a phase-by-phase digital checklist.
Safety and governance
Incidents, investigations, corrective actions, controlled documents and audit history.
Fleet, crew and reporting
Airworthiness gates, training records, signed deliverables and report packages.
Compliance & SORA
Written to survive an authority audit.
The EASA Specific Operations Risk Assessment implemented as a working calculator, wired into the mission it belongs to and stored as a permanent record.
OPEN eligibility
Screen the operation before assuming it is Specific.
STS / PDRA match
Match the mission to a standard scenario where one exists.
GRC & ARC
Compute Ground and Air Risk Class from the operational volume.
SAIL & OSOs
Determine SAIL and generate the safety objective checklist.
Gates, not reminders
A grounded aircraft cannot be dispatched. A mission cannot be complete until required signatures are in place. Every create, update and delete is captured in a searchable audit trail.
Offline field operations
No signal is the normal case.
The tablet runs a full local database and never waits on a network, not to open a checklist, sign a declaration or close a mission.
A one-time QR exchange binds a tablet to its pilot's workstation. When they share a local network, reference data and assigned missions flow down while logs, risk assessments, declarations and debriefs flow back up.

Security & deployment
Your stack. Your database. Your building, if you want.
Each operator gets an isolated, dedicated environment. Never a shared multi-tenant database, and never one KestrelWorks can read.
Database on that PC
The simple shape for a solo operator or single office machine.
Database in your network
Several roles work on the same records without anything leaving the building.
Isolated hosted database
Managed backups and access from more than one location, still dedicated to you.
About KestrelWorks
Software built the way aviation is regulated.
We build one product for one kind of customer: the EASA-regulated commercial UAS operator who has outgrown spreadsheets and does not want a subscription in exchange.
One product
Everything we build lands in the operations platform.
No lock-in
Your data sits in your own PostgreSQL database, on hardware you control.
Built in-house
Including the operational map, with no dependency on a third-party tactical viewer.
