In plain language
If your drone does not have a type certification, you must consult with the JCAB or a registered inspection body before submitting your airworthiness certification application, as the process takes significant time.
Requirement as structured
JCAB requires applicants seeking airworthiness certification for aircraft without type certification (excluding identity-proven aircraft) to consult with the authority or a registered inspection body in advance.
