Ground Verification Check for Unlisted UA Models

In plain language

If your drone model is not listed in the UA tracker manual, you must perform a ground verification check and submit the results to CAAS before your first flight.

Requirement as structured

CAAS states that operators must perform a ground verification check and report the results to CAAS before flying a UA model not listed in the UA tracker user manual.

Original regulatory text

A ground verification check should be carried out when installing a UA tracker for the first time on a UA model that is not listed within the UA tracker user manual. If there are multiple UA of the same model, this check only needs to be done before the first flight of any one of the UA. The results of the ground verification check should be reported to CAAS. A UA model that is not listed in the UA tracker user manual should not be flown unless (i) it has satisfactorily completed the check or (ii) CAAS had waived the requirement for it to be flown with an attached UA tracker.
