B-RID Module Attachment and Balance Guidance

In plain language

When mounting an external Broadcast RID module, place it securely on the top-middle of the drone. Make sure it doesn't block sensors or propellers, and check that the drone still balances properly at its center of gravity.

Requirement as structured

CAAS advises operators to attach the B-RID module firmly to the external upper surface of the UA, ensuring it is as central as possible, does not hinder propellers or sensors, and does not upset the UA's Centre of Gravity (CG).

Original regulatory text

In general, the B-RID module should be attached firmly on the external upper surface of the UA, without hindering the movement of the propellers and any onboard sensors. Do make sure that the module is mounted securely to prevent the module from coming loose during the flight. To minimise impact to flight performance and safety, the module should also be installed as central to the UA body as possible... If the UA is not balanced, adjust the location of the B-RID module until the UA is level.
