ABEOD is a South Africa-based aviation advisory company specialising in the streamlining of UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) operations. With over a decade of experience in the drone industry—previously known as RPAS—we have developed a reputation as trusted advisors, providing pragmatic solutions and unparalleled efficiency.

ABEOD (Pty) Ltd. is a trusted provider of regulatory compliance and certification support within South Africa’s unmanned aviation sector. Uniquely positioned as both a consultancy and an active operator, ABEOD holds its own Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operating Certificate (UASOC) under SACAA approval number G1430D. This dual role gives the company not only deep regulatory insight but also practical, real-world experience in running a successful and compliant UAS operation.

Since our establishment in 2017, ABEOD has supported more than 30 operators across a wide range of industries in securing their UASOCs (previously known as Remote Operating Certificates or ROCs). We deliver end-to-end support throughout the SACAA’s five-phase certification process, including the development of UAS Operations Manuals, Maintenance Programmes, Safety Cases, and Standard Operating Procedures.

In addition to certification services, ABEOD provides expert guidance on Air Service Licence applications and conducts thorough preparatory audits to ensure clients are fully prepared for SACAA inspections. Our team’s hands-on operational experience, combined with a strong working relationship with the regulator, ensures clients receive practical, up-to-date guidance aligned with current SACAA expectations and standards.

With a proven track record, regulatory expertise, and a commitment to excellence, ABEOD has earned a solid reputation as a dependable partner for UAS compliance and certification throughout South Africa.
