ASTM F3322 #10: AVSS completes 10th ASTM F3322 Parachute compliance on DJI Dock 3; Enabling the DJI M4D and M4TD drone to fly over people.

AVSS – Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions (AVSS) (Canada) has completed its 10th ASTM F3322 parachute compliance test on the DJI M4D/TD for the standalone kit and for Dock 3 operators.

With this recent ASTM F3322 compliance test complete, customers across the world will be able to receive critical regulatory approval for flights over people.

The PRS-M4DT will comply with Federal Aviation Administration Operations Over People as a Category 2 and Category 3 drone, Transport Canada – Transports Canada Over People rules, EASA – European Union Aviation Safety Agency MOC 2512, Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority Over People, and, in general, countries that use JARUS official M2 mitigation requirements for SORA.

Furthermore, the PRS-M4DTEX is a PRS + Flight Termination System (FTS) version to comply with EASA – European Union Aviation Safety Agency MOC 2511 and MOC 2512 requirements. This system uses an independent FTS to terminate flight through a geofence breach. This kit is specific to Europe to enable the C5 and C6 designation.

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.
