AVSS & ACUASI Complete ASTM F3322-22 Parachute Recovery System Compliance Testing for the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise, Mavic 3 Thermal, and Mavic 3 Multispectral.

AVSS has successfully completed the ASTM F3322-22 parachute recovery system third-party testing of a parachute recovery system designed for the DJI Mavic 3 Series.

AVSS – Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions (AVSS), with support from the third-party testing agency, the Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft System Integration (ACUASI) at the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA)-designated University of Alaska UAS test site, is proud to announce that they have completed the ASTM F3322-22 testing requirements for the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise, DJI Mavic 3 Thermal, and DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral.

Completing the ASTM F3322-22 is critical for enabling drones to legally and safely fly over people. By completing this industry-led testing standard, AVSS enables commercial drone pilots to fly over people in numerous countries.

This drone parachute compliance testing was also a key element for the FAA’s Category 2 Declaration of Compliance (DOC) for the AVSS PRS-M3E. With the PRS-M3E and DOC for Category 2 in hand, drone pilots in the USA can fly over people without needing to submit a 107.39 waiver.

For pilots, this AVSS DOC enables them to effectively plan their work schedule without the burden of unknown approval timelines for a waiver. For those requiring a waiver, such as public safety for BVLOS, this product complies with the FAA requirements. The first flight of the Mavic 3 Enterprise with the AVSS PRS-M3E occurred in Syracuse, New York. Commercial drone pilot and Drone Influencer, Billy Kyle, took advantage of the opportunity in mid-August at the annual Genius NY founder’s retreat.

“With the drone parachute for the DJI Mavic 3, we are opening up the commercial drone market beyond DJI Dock 2 users for customers in the USA. The Mavic 3 is one of the top commercial drones sold across the world and we look forward to enabling these pilots to save time and money by purchasing the PRS-M3E.” (Mariah Murray, VP of Operations)

If you are looking to learn more about the PRS-M3E, AVSS will be attending the upcoming Commercial UAV Expo in Las Vegas from September 3^rd to 5^th at Caesars Forum
