Compliance with Maintenance Orders for Certified Unmanned Aircraft

In plain language

If the government finds that your certified drone does not meet safety standards (or might fail them before the certificate expires), they can order you to perform maintenance or take other corrective actions. You must comply with this order.

Requirement as structured

The user of an unmanned aircraft that has received Aircraft Certification (機体認証) must comply with any order issued by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to perform necessary maintenance or take other measures if the aircraft does not conform, or is at risk of not conforming, to safety standards.

Original regulatory text
