“A2Z Drone Delivery Begins FAA Airworthiness Review for Longtail AirDock Edition Drone”

A2Z Drone Deliv­ery, a U.S com­pa­ny devel­op­ing com­mer­cial unmanned aer­i­al vehi­cles, recent­ly announced it has start­ed the process for review of the air­wor­thi­ness data for its Long­tail Air­Dock Edi­tion com­mer­cial drone plat­form, reports a press release. 

The Long­tail can oper­ate inde­pen­dent­ly or pair with the company’s net­work­able A2Z Air­Dock ecosys­tem that great­ly extends the range of drone ser­vices with a dock design that includes auto­mat­ic charg­ing capa­bil­i­ty.

The release explains, “A2Z has devel­oped flight test cards and is in the process of col­lect­ing the addi­tion­al flight test data and cre­at­ing the doc­u­men­ta­tion nec­es­sary to sup­port the rig­or­ous air­wor­thi­ness review process. The com­pa­ny has also engaged avi­a­tion con­sult­ing groups to offer guid­ance on FAA UAS reg­u­la­tions, draft­ing of flight and main­te­nance man­u­als, devel­op­ing check­lists and main­te­nance sched­ules, con­duct­ing nec­es­sary noise test­ing and envi­ron­men­tal assess­ments etc..”

It con­tin­ues, “The expert team along­side A2Z are cur­rent­ly for­mu­lat­ing the Long­tail flight and main­te­nance man­u­als for FAA review and pro­vid­ing all doc­u­men­ta­tion nec­es­sary for Part 135 oper­a­tors to add it to oper­at­ing cer­tifi­cates.”

Once achieved, com­mer­cial drone oper­a­tors can inte­grate the Long­tail into their ongo­ing com­mer­cial deliv­ery oper­a­tions or seek new Part 107 waivers for pack­age deliv­ery as well as oper­a­tions over peo­ple, roads or prop­er­ty. 

Aaron Zhang, CEO and co-Founder of A2Z Drone Deliv­ery, com­ment­ed, “Our Long­tail is a capa­ble and mature air­craft design that has been proven safe and reli­able through thou­sands of miles and hours of our own flight test­ing and is cur­rent­ly in oper­a­tion with cus­tomers around the world.”

He con­tin­ued, “We are under­tak­ing a rig­or­ous test­ing sched­ule in antic­i­pa­tion of com­plet­ing this review to coin­cide with the evolv­ing reg­u­la­tions that will gov­ern the future of com­mer­cial drone deliv­ery and oth­er unmanned enter­prise oper­a­tions here in the U.S.”

The Long­tail offers drone ser­vice providers and logis­tics oper­a­tors a cus­tomis­able off-the-shelf, ready-to-fly UAV for last-mile on-demand deliv­ery and oth­er unmanned aer­i­al ser­vices. The hexa­copter is capa­ble of deliv­er­ing or retriev­ing pay­loads up to 11 lbs via its onboard winch over a dis­tance of 12.4 miles, with its max­i­mum range extend­ed when trans­port­ing small­er pay­loads.

These capa­bil­i­ties make the Long­tail ide­al for local par­cel or food deliv­ery, emer­gency med­ical deliv­er­ies, ship-to-shore deliv­ery, search and res­cue oper­a­tions, law enforce­ment sup­port, lin­ear inspec­tion and more.

The Long­tail Air­Dock Edi­tion and all four vari­ants of its com­pan­ion Air­Docks are cur­rent­ly avail­able for order. Cus­tomers can take deliv­ery now and receive free upgrades for any revi­sions nec­es­sary fol­low­ing the FAA’s review, or pre-order the air­craft pend­ing com­ple­tion of the process. By plac­ing a pre-order now, cus­tomers can lock in the most favourable pric­ing and ensure ear­ly access to the Long­tail.
