IR, dated April 1, 2024 or later FAA approved revisions. Flight Limitations This UA must be operated in accordance with an FAA approved UFM, PRCPTO-OP-11-P-0016, Rev. IR, dated April 1, 2024, or later FAA approved revisions. Serial Numbers Approved SPR 071 0120, SPR 074 0220, SPR 075 0220, SPR 077 0720, SPR 105 0321, SPR 107 0321. Reliability Category RC-A Certification Basis 14 CFR § 21.17(b). The certification basis is documented in Federal Register Notice 2022-06378. Date of Application for Type Certificate: November 26, 2019 TC Issuance Date: August 9, 2024 Production Basis Production Basis: None. The approved UA serial numbers and new UAs subsequently produced are not eligible for standard airworthiness certification. Before original airworthiness certification of each aircraft, an FAA representative must perform a detailed inspection for workmanship, materials, conformity with the approved technical data, and a check of the flight characteristics. In the event of an application for a standard airworthiness certificate or, if an applicant intends to produce a new aircraft under 14 CFR § 21.183(d), and the applicant is manufacturing, building, or assembling to another person’s type certificate, the applicant must provide written evidence of permission from the type certificate holder. Conduct of such activity without written evidence of permission may be a violation of 49 U.S.C.§ 44704(a)(3). R00032LA Page 5 of 6 Environmental Environmental compliance in accordance with the published Rule of Particular Applicability,” Final rule for Percepto Model Sparrow 2.4 (July 3, 2023)” which can be found through the Noise page in the FAA’s Office of Environment and Energy webpage or using the following URL: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/apl/aee/noise/ uas_noise_certification. Type Design The UA Type Design consists of the aircraft, battery, and camera system in accordance with Sparrow 2.4 Master Drawing List PRCPTO-OP-31-P- 2003, Rev. 8, dated September 13, 2023, or later FAA approved revisions. Associated Elements (AE) The AE identified in document, Percepto TC UA and Associated Elements Interface Document PRCPTO-OP-11-P-3005, Rev. 12, dated January 24, 2023, was used during type certification. All AE, including those identified in the AE interface document, require FAA approval for operations and must not invalidate the type certification. FAA Flight Standards may coordinate any AE changes proposed by an operator with the appropriate AIR Certification Branch in order to determine any potential effects to the TC or UFM. R00032LA Page 6 of 6 NOTE 1 A current weight and balance report, including a list of equipment included in the certificated empty weight and loading instructions when necessary, must be provided for each aircraft at the time of original certification. NOTE 2 All placards required by either the FAA-approved Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual, the applicable operating rules, or the Certification Basis must be installed as specified. NOTE 3 This aircraft shall be maintained in accordance with the Percepto Sparrow 2.4 UA maintenance manual (UMM), or other methods approved or accepted by the FAA. The Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) are incomplete. The aircraft will be eligible for return to service when the ICA is complete and FAA accepted. NOTE 4 UA shall be operated under 14 CFR part 91 or 107, operating requirements, as mitigated. Operations shall be conducted in accordance with authorizations, exemptions or waivers of flight regulations applicable to the operation, including but not limited to 14 CFR § 91.113, issued by the Administrator and specific to the intended operation, including geographical limitations. NOTE 5 This UA is considered a ‘Low-Risk UA’ based on its design and Concept of Operations (CONOPS); the type certificate was issued accordingly using durability and reliability testing. NOTE 6 Any change to the operating limitations must be evaluated by the FAA Aircraft Certification Service’s West Certification Branch for this TC to determine whether it is a major change per § 21.93. NOTE 7 This UA has not been shown to meet the requirements of the applicable comprehensive and detailed airworthiness code as provided by Annex 8 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. NOTE 8 The FAA Flight Standards will grant operating approvals based on the CONOPS and the reliability category achieved by demonstrations conducted during the UA’s type certification testing. NOTE 9 All Associated Elements must be evaluated and receive an FAA operational approval. NOTE 10 Operations of this aircraft over human beings are prohibited unless such operations are approved by the FAA. (i.e. 14 CFR 107.140) NOTE 11 These unmanned aircraft must be Part 89 Compliant at issuance of an Airworthiness Certificate. END
