Single Failure Containment Requirement

In plain language

The drone's containment systems (like flight termination) must be designed so that a single failure (such as a lost C2 link) does not cause a fly-away or prevent the containment system from working.

Requirement as structured

TCCA guidance states that both low and high robustness containment standards require that no single failure results in a fly-away of the RPA.

Original regulatory text

Both the low and high robustness containment standard require that no single failure result in a fly-away of the RPA. Therefore, the containment means needs to be independent from any systems on the RPAS that could result in a fly-away.
