EASA approves ParaZero parachute safety kits

ParaZero Technologies Ltd has received Design Verification Report (DVR) approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for its SafeAir M-300 and SafeAir M-350 Pro parachute safety kits. This approval adds to ParaZero’s previously granted approvals from the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and EASA, alongside additional territories.

The EASA DVR confirms that ParaZero’s SafeAir M-300/ M-350 Pro parachute systems comply with safety requirements, enabling drone operators to expand their operational scope under the Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) process. 

The approval allows operators to fulfil the ‘Enhanced Containment’ Requirement because the SafeAir systems comply with the Light-UAS.2511 standard, offering flight termination capabilities that provides an additional safety layer when operating near high-risk areas such as crowded locations or critical airspace.

The systems also comply with the Light-UAS.2512 standard for impact mitigation. ParaZero says this reduction in the rated Ground Risk Class grants operators more flexibility in executing medium-risk missions, including those beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and near populated areas.
