List of Certified Drones

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has released new regulations that will require all drones operating in the European Union to be marked with a Class Identification Label from January 1st, 2024. The new regulation aims to improve safety and security in the airspace and enable authorities to identify the drone and its operator easily.

Geoawareness for Drones in Europe

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has developed a regulatory framework for drones in Europe, which includes a requirement for geoawareness and geofencing capabilities. Geoawareness refers to the ability of a drone to sense and avoid potential obstacles and hazards, and Geofencing, is a technology used to create virtual boundaries around a physical location, allowing drones to be restricted or to be prevented from entering specific areas.

Outsourcing Drone Flight Permissions: Why It’s the Best Option

Flying a drone for commercial purposes requires obtaining a series of permits from the corresponding authorities. This process can be complicated and time-consuming, especially for those without prior experience. Therefore, many companies are faced with the decision to outsource the permit application process or do it internally.

Flight Termination Systems (FTS)

As drones become more prevalent in our day-to-day lives, the need for reliable flight termination systems is becoming increasingly important. Flight termination systems are a set of protocols and hardware components that allow a drone’s flight to be safely terminated in the event of an emergency or other unforeseen circumstance. These systems will be mandatory for C5 & C6 drones, and recommended for all other classes.

Direct Remote Identification (DRI)

One of the most important novelties of the European regulation on drones is that virtually all aircraft flying in the Open Category (classes C1, C2, and C3) or under declaration of the Specific Category (classes C5 and C6) must have installed a remote identification system that allows the operator’s number to be known. This system is called “Direct Remote Identification” (DRI).

What Do I Need To Fly a Drone?

Drones have become increasingly popular in recent years and their use has expanded into many fields, from package delivery to photography and video. However, with the increased popularity of drones, concerns about safety and privacy have also increased. To ensure safety, the European Union has introduced a registration requirement for all drone pilots.

Conformity Assessment of Drones

Drone certification is a compliance assessment process to ensure that drones meet the technical and safety requirements set out by regulation. This includes operational testing and document verification to ensure that drones comply with European directives and can be used safely.

What is U-Space?

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has taken a major step in the advancement of the drone industry by releasing its first set of guidelines and materials for the harmonised and safe implementation of “U-space” across the European Union.

Drone Certification Playbook

The implementation of the EU Class Identification Label serves a crucial purpose in the regulation and operation of drones. The label is a verification mechanism designed to confirm that drones within a specific class meet the rigorous standards set by the European Union for design and manufacturing. These standards are necessary to ensure the safety and reliability of drones in various industries and applications.

PDRA 05

PDRA 05 has been created in response to the high demand for UAS flights in BVLOS conditions, without observers and without the need for TSA, with larger drones and at greater distances.
