The drone industry is not one for the faint of heart. The bar for success is high with ever changing factors like regulations, technical advancements, and new competitors. Integrating in a high quality and reliable drone parachute system can improve those odds. Having a solid parachute for your drone has the potential to boost your sales, improve your reputation, win the approval of the public, and if you achieve ASTM F3322 certification you will become an unbeatable stakeholder.
After 15+ years and 4000 drone parachute customers we at <a href="https://fruitychutes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fruity Chutes</a> know how picking a successful parachute system for your drone takes many considerations including picking a good vendor, drone design readiness, choosing the right recovery gear, integration, and deciding on ASTM certification.
<h5>Choosing the Right Vendor: Domino Effect of a Prudent Decision</h5>
Like a row of dominoes falling into place after one right move, pick the right parachute vendor and everything will fall into place. Picking the right parachute manufacturer is critical to ensuring a reliable drone parachute system.&nbsp;
It is important to go with a vendor that has a long established history with a large and varied customer base. Vendors as such will have dealt with a big variety of use cases and requirements. It is likely that they will already have a good deal of understanding in how to go about things no matter how unique your requirements are. Their product line will also be mature and refined over lots of feedback and uses. You do not want to go with anything experimental or too new. The chances of these unproven products failing is high and risky.
Knowledge of regulations for drone parachutes is an important consideration. There are many places around the world where parachutes for drones are either required or highly favorable. A company who understands the regulations around this can help ensure your drone parachute efforts are not wasted.
Customer service should not be forgotten about too. Parachutes have many different components to them and with human cause being the biggest factor in error it is important to know that who you work with will be able to answer all your questions.
These are all factors that make Fruity Chutes an ideal choice when it comes to picking a parachute for drones or any other UAS. Since 2007 Fruity Chutes has worked with over 4000 customers who have come from many different industries like rocketry, aerospace, high altitude balloon research, and most of all drones. Over these 15+ years we have refined our product line based on 1000s of rounds of feedback and changing regulations. Our proven products and high level of customer service have helped us establish a large varied customer base with low turnover.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h5>Drone Design Readiness: Proactive Integration for Success</h5>
Contrary to a common industry misconception, treating a parachute system as an afterthought and deferring considerations until the end of innovation can lead to failure. The optimal approach is to incorporate the parachute system into the initial design phase, ensuring the integration of necessary elements like electronics and volume. This proactive approach guarantees that your drone innovation aligns seamlessly with parachute requirements, preventing the realization of inadequate setups when it's too late.
The sooner you can begin talks with your chosen UAS parachute provider the better. They will be able to consult with you to ensure that the right components are in place for a seamless system.
<h5>Selecting the Perfect Parachute System: Tailoring to Drone Types</h5>
The first thing to consider when choosing a parachute system is what the launcher method will be. This is based on the drone type.&nbsp;
Parachutes for multicopters and other prop based drones. For an agile drone with props, like a quadcopter or VTOL, the best thing to do is go with a ballistic launched parachute system. At Fruity Chutes we recommend either our spring based Harrier (0.6kg to 12.4kg) (<a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://shop.fruitychutes.com/collections/harrier-launchers-1-27-kg-to-12-4-kg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://shop.fruitychutes.com/collections/harrier-launchers-1-27-kg-to-12-4-kg</a>)&nbsp; or Skycat (1.25kg to 30kg) (<a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://shop.fruitychutes.com/collections/skycat-launchers-2-5-kg-to-20-kg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://shop.fruitychutes.com/collections/skycat-launchers-2-5-kg-to-20-kg</a>) launchers, or our CO2 Peregrine launchers (12.7 kg to 200kg) (<a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://shop.fruitychutes.com/collections/peregrine-ballistic-parachute" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://shop.fruitychutes.com/collections/peregrine-ballistic-parachute</a>).
Parachutes for fixed wing. For drones with no props whatsoever a ballistic launcher can be used, but because of the ever forward motion of the drone a passive deployment method. This can include a main parachute which is extracted by a pilot chute. This is a much lighter alternative to the ballistic options. Fruity Chutes Fixed Wing Bundles (https://shop.fruitychutes.com/collections/fixed-wing-bundle) are a good example of this.
Picking the parachute size. The weight of your system will determine the parachute size. You want to size the parachute based on the weight so the vehicle descends at 15 feet per a second. This speed is a good balance of a reasonable impact on landing and the parachute not getting kitted and drug away. A descent rate calculator (https://fruitychutes.com/help_for_parachutes/parachute-descent-rate-calculator) can help aid in this decision.
Picking your trigger mechanism. There are a couple different trigger options. You can use an automatic trigger system that uses an IMU and accelerometer to detect anything out of normal to trigger the parachute. You can also use a manual option where the pilot decides to eject the parachute system. Either way it is wise to have a way that is external from the drone&rsquo;s system so that if it fails you can still eject the parachute. The SATS-MINI automatic trigger system and The Skycat Manual Rescue Radio are two options that will still reliably work when the drone has lost communication.

<h5>Pursuing ASTM F3322 Certification: Gateway to Industry Leadership</h5>
Having your drone and parachute certified to the ASTM F3322 standard can open doors. It can lead you to becoming the undeniable leader in your sector of the industry and being untouchable to your competition. Waivers and approvals become possible through the FAA, EASA, and other CAAs when you have ASTM certification.
This certification is ideal for drone OEMs, large drone service providers, and major value adders who are seeking approvals and waivers from their CAA. We recommend checking with your local CAA to see if ASTM F3322 is accepted to gain your desired approval and waivers
<h5>Navigating Common Pitfalls in ASTM F3322 Certification</h5>
It is a common misconception that one can save money by navigating the parachute recovery standard independently. This is flawed due to the intricate nature of both parachute systems and the standard itself. These systems are multifaceted, incorporating mechanical, manual, automatic, physical, electronic, and other elements. Attempting to comprehend and implement the standard independently can consume a significant amount of time and resources&mdash;approximately 300 hours and over $100k. Opting to collaborate with an expert on the standard provides invaluable guidance, streamlining the process and allowing one to focus on core proficiencies without the need to decipher complex formulas, jargon, and testing tables.
After assisting numerous customers through the ASTM process, we observed the considerable resources required for certification, often leading to compromises in innovation and workflow disruptions. Having been part of the F38 workgroup in crafting ASTM F3322, we established aConsultation Program to alleviate these challenges. Launched in 2023 as the ASTM Compliant Drone ParaPrep Program (<a href="https://fruitychutes.com/uav_rpv_drone_recovery_parachutes/astm-compliant-drone-parachute-program" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://fruitychutes.com/uav_rpv_drone_recovery_parachutes/astm-compliant-drone-parachute-program</a>), it leverages our 16 years of expertise, extensive customer experience, and in-depth knowledge of the standard to guide companies through the process at a significantly reduced cost.
<h5>The Pitfall of Going with the Wrong Parachute Recovery System</h5>
Contrary to the notion that a well-engineered drone can compensate for a mediocre parachute system in ASTM testing is often believed. The TPTA's random initiation of failures during approximately 50 tests for standard compliance will reveal any faults and one failed test will lead to needing to retest from the start which is expensive. Opting for an unproven parachute system, lacking maturity, high quality, and lab-tested refinement, significantly raises the risk of test failures, necessitating a restart of the entire test suite with considerable associated costs. Investing in high-quality recovery gear from an experienced drone parachute manufacturer mitigates these risks, ensuring a faster and more successful ASTM certification process with reduced time and costs.

<h5 class="p1">Failure to Comply with FAA Regulations</h5>
Many drone operators rely on insurance coverage to protect themselves and their equipment in case of accidents, damage, or liability issues. Insurance providers may require compliance with FAA regulations as a condition for coverage. If a drone is not equipped with Remote ID as mandated by the FAA, it may not be covered by insurance in the event of an incident, leaving the operator financially vulnerable
The FAA has the authority to impose fines and penalties on drone operators who violate regulations, including those related to Remote ID. Fines can vary depending on the severity of the violation but can be substantial. Operators who operate drones without Remote ID or fail to comply with Remote ID requirements could face monetary fines.
In addition to fines, the FAA can suspend or revoke the pilot certificates of those who repeatedly violate regulations. This means that drone pilots could lose their privileges to operate drones legally. Such actions could have long-term consequences for individuals who depend on their ability to operate drones for business or recreational purposes.
Operating a drone without Remote ID as required by the FAA can also lead to legal liability in case of accidents, collisions, or safety incidents. If an accident occurs, and the drone does not have proper identification, the operator may face legal consequences and civil lawsuits from affected parties.
<h5 class="p1">The Importance of FAA Compliance</h5>
These consequences underscore the critical importance of FAA compliance for drone operators. Compliance not only safeguards against legal issues and financial penalties but also promotes safety in the skies. With an increasing number of drones taking to the air, it's crucial to have systems in place that ensure accountability and traceability, which is precisely what Remote ID regulations aim to achieve.
By developing the Z-RID Module, Zing Drone Solutions addresses the need for compliance while also offering a user-friendly solution that enhances the drone operator's experience.

Remote ID technology acts as a virtual license plate for drones, offering essential information to authorities and other stakeholders about a drone's identity, location, and flight details. This real-time information can be accessed by law enforcement, air traffic controllers, and other authorized parties, enabling enhanced airspace management, better navigation, and swift response during emergencies. It also helps mitigate the risks associated with rogue drones, ensuring that authorized operators are held accountable for their flights.
<h5>Why Does The Federal Aviation Administration Enforce Remote ID?</h5>
The introduction of Remote ID is primarily motivated by safety concerns. Drones flying without Remote ID pose risks to other aircraft and people on the ground. Failing to comply could lead to accidents, property damage, and potential injuries. Drones serve a wide range of purposes, including recreational, commercial, and potentially malicious activities. Remote ID helps authorities swiftly identify the drone operator, enabling the differentiation between authorized and unauthorized drone flights. This action helps mitigate security risks and unapproved drone operations.
Remote ID holds drone operators accountable for their actions. Requiring drones to broadcast identification and location information makes operators more likely to adhere to regulations and act responsibly. This accountability is crucial for maintaining order and ensuring safe drone operations. Many advanced drone operations, such as flying beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) or in urban environments, demand a higher level of situational awareness. Remote ID can provide the necessary data for air traffic management systems to safely and efficiently accommodate these operations.
<h5>The Consequences of Non-Compliance</h5>
As the deadline for implementing Remote ID approaches, drone operators who fail to comply with the regulation could face a range of consequences that extend beyond legal implications. Non-compliance with FAA regulations can result in fines and legal actions against drone operators. The FAA has the authority to penalize those who disregard the Remote ID requirement, potentially impacting both individual pilots and commercial drone operators.
While Remote ID compliance might be seen as an inconvenience for some pilots, it's essential to follow the steps and register your drone correctly. Ignoring this could lead to your drone pilot license being revoked or, worse, facing a civil penalty of up to $32,666 based on the violation. Without Remote ID, drone operators might find themselves restricted from flying in certain areas, especially those with higher air traffic density. This limitation could hinder various applications, including aerial photography, surveying, and more.
Many industries are integrating drone technology to streamline operations, enhance data collection, and improve efficiency. Without Remote ID, drone operators could miss out on lucrative opportunities, as clients and partners might prefer working with compliant operators for safety and legal reasons.
<h5>Introducing Zing Remote ID&nbsp;</h5>
As the FAA deadline for Remote ID compliance approaches, drone pilots face a critical moment in ensuring their operations align with regulations. That's where Zing Remote ID comes in, revolutionizing the way pilots meet requirements while enhancing safety, accountability, and airspace management. The company is currently in the process of filing our FAA Declaration of Compliance. It will be live on the FAA DOC site prior to the initial ship date in September.

21 August 2023
<a href="http://www.pierceaerospace.net" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pierce Aerospace</a> announced that it worked with the Department of Homeland Security and other federal, state, and local agencies to deploy Remote ID to support the NFL's Super Bowl LVII. This is the first instance of Remote ID utilization in operational support of a National Special Security Event. Pierce Aerospace deployed its Bluebird Remote ID Receivers and B1 Remote ID Beacons around State Farm Stadium to support airspace operations for NFL coordinated broadcast flights, a commercial drone swarm, and in support of law enforcement drone flights and operations.

Pierce Aerospace provided its ASTM F3411-22 compliant B1 Remote ID beacons to pilots for FAA-approved commercial drone flights and law enforcement drone operations. Bluebird Remote ID Receivers were deployed around the stadium and used to successfully detect, track, and identify the equipped drones in the week leading up to the Super Bowl and on game day. Using COPERS, a web-based situational awareness tool developed by KBR, Inc., local broadcast messages collected by the Pierce Aerospace&rsquo;s Receiver Network and Remote ID data feeds were routed to COPERS for airspace activity monitoring. COPERS, which stands for Command Oversight or Personnel, Equipment, Response and Situation, was made available to federal and local law enforcement end users across security command elements to monitor the Remote ID data feeds both on-site and remotely.
"We've been working with the Department of Defense since 2018 to take local broadcast Remote ID messages and network them to various tiers of end users in DOD experimental events. It was exciting to take the institutional knowledge that we've developed over the years and deploy it for the first time in support of real-world national security operations at the Super Bowl," said Aaron Pierce, CEO of Pierce Aerospace. "This was an operational test of Remote ID before officially rolling it out as an FAA regulatory requirement in September. I'm happy to share that this deployment emphasized 'operational.'"
&ldquo;Pierce Aerospace&rsquo;s Remote ID products and their integration capabilities helped ease the Command and Control of the Super Bowl LVII Temporary Flight Restriction [TFR] when it came to authorized vs unauthorized UAS operations,&rdquo; said Greg Bean, Special Operations Security for the FAA. &ldquo;We look forward to the full roll out of the FAA&rsquo;s Remote ID rule in September 2023.&rdquo;
"KBR was excited to provide COPERS to Pierce Aerospace as the display provider and common operating picture for their Remote ID capability at the Super Bowl," said Preston Hoeve, COPERS Principal Investigator for KBR. "COPERS provided multiple layers of distributed government stakeholders with a means to oversee the airspace data streamed from Pierce Aerospace's sensors at the Super Bowl. KBR looks forward to continuing to work with Pierce Aerospace to provide this capability to local, state, tribal, and federal stakeholders enhancing the safety of their communities."&nbsp;
Pierce Aerospace engineers extensively tested Remote ID in flight and ground tests leading up to the Super Bowl in and around the State Farm Stadium area. Ground testing continued in parallel to flight operations on game day itself. Pierce Aerospace engineers used both Pierce Aerospace and commercially available third-party developed Remote ID Android applications to successfully detect and track the company's B1 Beacons inside State Farm Stadium during the Super Bowl and during the halftime show.

"To our knowledge, this was the harshest stress test that Remote ID has seen to date," said Pierce." Nearly 73,000 fans were inside that stadium. All with cell phones and other WiFi and Bluetooth emitting devices, many of whom were streaming or uploading photos and video during the halftime show. We're happy to share that our engineers successfully detected and tracked our Remote ID beacons with phones inside the stadium during this high-noise floor event."
"We're tremendously thankful to the NFL, our federal customers, our University of Notre Dame and Rose-Hulman Ventures partners, and the local departments, especially Glendale and Tempe Police Departments, for working with us to operationalize Remote ID for the first time. We are grateful to the pilots at NFL Films, ESPN, FOX Sports, Beverly Hills Aerials, Fly With Me, Skyway Interactive, the Glendale Police Department, Surprise Fire-Medical Department, and Pixis Drones, who made aviation history by equipping with Remote ID for the first time in support of a National Security operation. Everyone who participated should be proud of the role they played in advancing the possibilities of the next era of aviation," said Pierce.
