The thesis proofs the hypothesis that operational safety considerations cannot be used as the only means to prove airworthiness of light UAS. In this context, O.R.C.U.S. was developed and applied, a software tool that provides impact risk estimation for light UAS operations above Germany. To do so, the complete event chain as well as a time and place dynamic people distribution based on official census data is integrated. An encompassing overview on current UAS regulations, risk models, aviation organizations and aircraft type certification are included to provide a complete picture.
