Route qualification
£15k to £40kPer route. Route, aircraft, airspace, weather, failure and cost scenarios, ending in a proceed, redesign or stop recommendation.
Locust sells route qualification and the evidence behind it. Aircraft, hubs and day-to-day operations stay with the operator.
Most engagements begin with one route. The airframe and subscription work follow only if the route is worth pursuing.
Per route. Route, aircraft, airspace, weather, failure and cost scenarios, ending in a proceed, redesign or stop recommendation.
Per airframe. The aircraft's performance, failure and contingency cases modelled and documented for the operator's safety case.
Per operator per month. Scenario re-runs when the aircraft, route, demand or rules change, with a report of what moved.
Extra routes or aircraft are quoted separately, because each needs its own scenarios and evidence.
Material changes are re-scoped because they alter the evidence and the operating risk.
A recommendation does not replace flight testing or CAA authorisation. The report lists what still needs real-world evidence.
