uavklaret

uavklaret is a term occasionally used in discussions of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations to denote that a particular drone flight or operator has been cleared for activity by a competent authority or by an approved regulatory process. The term appears as a neologism, combining the acronym UAV with the word klarert, meaning cleared, in several Scandinavian languages, and has circulated mainly in industry commentary, policy papers, and informal documents.

Although not part of formal aviation regulations, uavklaret serves as shorthand for a status that implies compliance with required checks, such as pilot certification, airworthiness, remote identification, geofencing, and airspace authorization.

In practice, the meaning of uavklaret can vary by jurisdiction. In some contexts, it refers to a flight plan or operating permission granted by a civil aviation authority; in others, to an internal risk assessment or operator-specific clearance. The lack of a universal definition means it should not be treated as an official regulatory term.
