Required Documents and Submission Timing for Type Certification

In plain language

When applying for drone Type Certification, you must submit various technical documents (such as design plans, parts lists, and flight manuals) at specific stages of development. If the drone is already built, all documents must be submitted right when you apply.

Requirement as structured

An applicant for Type Certification (型式認証) must attach the specified documents (including design plans, drawings, flight manuals, and maintenance procedures) and submit them at the designated stages of design, manufacturing, and inspection; however, for drones already manufactured at the time of application, all such documents must be submitted at the time of application.
