ABOUT ASTM F3322-24a
The ASTM F3322 parachute recovery system testing standard was developed by industry stakeholders as well as representatives from the FAA in late 2018 after more than a year of work. The ASTM F3322-24a version is a revised version published in December 2024 and increased the number of tests from 45 to 49. The completion of the ASTM F3322-24a testing with a third-party organization, along with the required engineering analysis, has also been acknowledged by numerous regulators worldwide as a key third-party validated test to enable commercial drones to fly over people.
