Low Robustness Containment via Energy Limitation

Verified from official sources
AC 922-001 Section 4.6Version 1Effective -Verified 23 August 2026

In plain language

If the drone's battery or fuel capacity is physically limited so that it cannot fly far enough to leave the approved flight area, this can satisfy the low robustness containment standard.

Requirement as structured

TCCA accepts limiting the drone's fuel or electrical energy so that its endurance is insufficient to exit the operational volume as a basic means of compliance for low robustness containment.

Original regulatory text

At the most basic level, and applicant could show compliance to this standard by limiting the fuel/electrical energy of the drone such that it does not have the endurance required to leave the operational volume.
