FAA approves category 2 drone for flying over people

Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions Inc. (AVSS) has announced that the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the recent Category 2 and Category 3 Declaration of Compliance (DOC) for the AVSS PRS-M3DT, a drone parachute for the DJI Dock 2.

The approval means that operators can legally fly over people by equipping the DJI M3D or DJI M3TD, the drone platforms for the Dock 2, with the AVSS PRS-M3DT parachute.

The approval also includes higher wind limitations for the DJI Dock 2 when operating under Category 3 conditions. AVSS used its previously approved FAA Means of Compliance (MOC) for this DOC approval.
