The PRS-M4DT is designed to meet the FAA Part 107 impact-energy thresholds for Category 2 and Category 3 Operations Over People when installed on the M4D or M4TD. The included ASTM F3322-24a compliance documentation supports your declaration of compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between Category 2 and Category 3 Operations Over People?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eCategory 2 allows sustained flight over people with no impact-energy threshold above 11 ft-lb (and no exposed rotating parts that would lacerate skin). Category 3 allows flight over people only in restricted-access sites or transient flight over people, with a higher 25 ft-lb threshold. The PRS-M4DT brings the M4D and M4TD inside both thresholds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eWhy does the M4D version weigh more than the M4S version?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe PRS-M4DT (215 g) is a heavier system than the PRS-M4S (149 g) because the M4D and M4TD are heavier aircraft and the system is tuned for autonomous Dock 3 missions. The trade-off is a slower descent rate of 2.92 m\/s versus 3.80 m\/s on the M4S, which lowers impact energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eHow is the parachute triggered during a dock mission?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eTwo ways. The onboard autonomous triggering system monitors the aircraft and fires the parachute automatically if it detects loss of control or freefall, which is the primary safety net for unmanned dock operations. A manual deployment is also available through the PSDK so a remote pilot in command can terminate flight on demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eHow fast does the parachute deploy?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe autonomous triggering system fires the parachute in under 0.5 seconds from detection of a flight anomaly, and the energetic deployment opens the canopy almost immediately. The system supports a 0 m \/ 0 ft deployment option for low-altitude scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003eWhat is the warranty?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe PRS-M4DT ships with a 1-year manufacturer warranty from AVSS against defects in materials and workmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"AVSS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51656804827453,"sku":null,"price":3390.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0834\/1631\/8269\/files\/avss-drone-parachute-on-dji-matrice-4d-against-white-background.webp?v=1777577581","url":"https:\/\/www.terrestrialimaging.com\/products\/avss-drone-parachute-for-dji-matrice-4d-series","provider":"Terrestrial Imaging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
