EASA publishes proposed standards for certification of light drones
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency has published a proposal of airworthiness standards for the certification of light unmanned aircraft.
The proposed standards, now open for public consultation, are known as Special Condition Light UAS and will be applicable to unmanned aircraft under 600 Kg operated in the specific or certified category in accordance with regulation (EU) 2019 / 947, which enters into force on December 31, 2020. Most drones currently under certification in EASA will adopt this certification basis.
