Evidence for BVLOS Compliance

In plain language

To get BVLOS approval, you must prove your drone is airworthy and your risk mitigations work. You can do this using test flight data, engineering analysis, safety assessments, or design reviews.

Requirement as structured

CAAS requires applicants to substantiate compliance with BVLOS requirements using evidence such as direct analysis, physical demonstrations (rig testing or prototype flights), quantitative/qualitative safety evidence, or design reviews.

Original regulatory text

To demonstrate compliance with the applicable requirements in Appendix 1, an applicant should provide substantiations supported by evidence as attestation of the UAS’ airworthiness and adequacy of the risk mitigating measures. Where applicable, evidence should consist of one or more forms of the following types: (a) Direct evidence from analysis (b) Direct evidence from demonstration (rig testing, representative prototype ground and flight operation, operational experience) (c) Direct quantitative safety evidence (d) Direct qualitative safety evidence (e) Direct evidence from hazard risk assessment (f) Direct evidence from the design review process
