RPAS Operation Categorisation

EASA Certification

One section of the General Aviation Department responsible of the certification of RPAS, together with the certification other aircraft types

A dedicated section may be created depending of the evolution of the market and of the rules.

Three applications are being handled now Approval of the design is using the certification policy developed by EASA in 2009 which leads to the issue of TC or RTC.

Considering for the future to base the design approvals on the risk and complexity of the operation.

Design approvals could range from Industry certificates to TC/ RTC issued by the Authority
