Verified from official sources特記事項について - 5Version 1Effective -Verified 31 August 2026
In plain language
If you perform maintenance or swap parts on a type-certified drone using methods or parts not specified in the manufacturer's manual, the drone will lose its type-certified status for airworthiness applications.
Requirement as structured
JCAB states that if maintenance or parts replacement is performed outside the scope of the maintenance manual or manufacturer-specified parts, the aircraft will be treated as not having a type certification during the airworthiness certification process.
