UAS: Registered Inspection Organization System
Registered Inspection Organization There is a system (Registered Inspection Organization System) that allows private organizations registered by the government as well as the national government to conduct inspection work related to Aircraft Certification and Type Certification of unmanned aircraft. The registration is valid for a period of three years, and the government may order a registered inspection organization conformity order, business improvement or suspension order, or revoke its registration, as necessary. The registration of a registered inspection organization requires, among…

Future Vision of EASA Regulation
EASA Regulations The following categories are being considered as new requirements. •CS-Light UAS： After gaining experience in certification under the current Special Condition, it will be developed into a CS for light class unmanned aircraft. •CS-UAS： For unmanned aerial vehicles that have the same weight and performance as current aircraft (fixed-wing and rotary-wing) and can carry people, with UAS-specific elements to be added. •CS-VTOL： Aircraft that operates within and between cities like a flying car. Please find the figure in…

SORA(Specific Operations Risk Assessment)
SORA SORA is based on a document developed by JARUS that provides direction on how to safely create, evaluate, and conduct unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operations. The methodology is based on the principles of a holistic/comprehensive risk-based assessment model of system safety that is used to evaluate the risks associated with specific UAS operations. This model considers the nature of all threats associated with a particular hazard, the associated design, and proposed operational mitigations for a particular UAS operation. SORA…

What is JARUS?
Purpose of JARUS The purpose of JARUS, as stated in the Terms of Reference, is “to recommend a single set of technical, safety, and operational requirements for all aspects related to the safe operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). To do so, existing regulations and other materials applicable to manned aircraft must be reviewed and considered, specific tasks related to UAS must be analyzed, and materials covering the unique characteristics of UAS must be developed. The JARUS guidance materials are…
