AGL (does not include takeoff and landing phases of flight) Flight Endurance In accordance with Unmanned Aircraft Flight Manual (UFM) for specific environment (US-OPT2-O-003 Rev. IR dated August 29, 2023). Flight Limitations This UA must be operated in accordance with an FAA approved UFM (US-OPT2-O-003 Rev. IR dated 29-August-2023) Serial Numbers Approved UA 354 to UA 358 Reliability Category RC-B Certification Basis 14 CFR 21.17(b). The certification basis is documented in Federal Register Notice 2022-06380. Date of Application for Type Certificate September 25, 2019 TC Issue Date September 5, 2023 Production Basis Production Certificate NONE. Note: because the FAA has not issued a Production Certificate, before original airworthiness certification of each aircraft (UAS) an FAA representative must perform a detailed inspection for workmanship, materials, conformity with the approved technical data, and 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 14CFR 21.183(d), and the applicant is manufacturing, building of assembling to another person’s type certificate, the applicant must provide written evidence of permission from the type certificate holder. Conduct for such activity without written evidence of permission may be a violation of 49 U.S.C. 44704(a)(3). R00033LA Page 6 of 8 Environmental Environmental compliance in accordance with the published Rule of Particular Applicability, “Final Rule for Airobotics Model Optimus 1- EX (July 3, 2023)” [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/nois e/uas_noise_certification Type Design The UA Type Design consists of the aircraft, payloads (sensors), and battery. See Optimus 1-EX UAS MDL and Type design Data, OPT2.TC-M-167, Rev. 06 dated 02-August-2023. Associated Elements (AE) The AE identified in document, Airobotics AE Interface Document OPT2.TC-P-459, Rev. IR dated 04-May-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. R00033LA Page 7 of 8 NOTES: 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 Airobotics Optimus 1-EX UA maintenance manual, or other methods approved or accepted by the FAA (UMM OPT2-M-004 Rev IR, dated 01-August- 2023). 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 and environmental 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 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 The Approval of the Type Design is applicable to these aircraft serial numbers only. The Type Design as defined in the MDL (OPT2.TC-M-167 Rev. 06, dated 02-August-2023), to include drawing revision levels, may not be used for any further certification or manufacturing purposes.
