Analysis of Available Methods for Risk Assessment Dedicated to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Aviation is becoming more and more popular. It is influenced, inter alia, by the development of general aviation (GA) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Due to the increasing number of qualified UAV users (in April 2018 there were 6846 operators in Poland with a valid certificate of qualifications) and those performing only recreational flights, it is important to ensure an acceptable level of risk in these operations. Using the available methods, the risk of five exemplary unmanned operations was assessed. The results were compared to determine their validity.
