Use of JCAB Standard Manuals in Applications

Verified from official sources
Version 1Effective -Verified 31 August 2026

In plain language

You can simplify your drone flight application by referencing the JCAB Standard Manual instead of attaching detailed documents. However, you must choose either Standard Manual 01 (location-specified) or Standard Manual 02 (non-location-specified) and cannot combine them in one application.

Requirement as structured

JCAB allows applicants to omit certain attachments in flight permission and approval applications by referencing the JCAB Standard Manual (stating their organization and name), but Standard Manual 01 and Standard Manual 02 cannot be used together in a single application.
