Tests For Drones

The Quality Control Council of India (QCI) was established in 1996 to promote quality standards across social and economic sectors. QCI conducts drone flight testing in 7 stages - pre-flight assessment, take-off, loiter test, cruise test, return to home and land, and endurance test. For a drone to fly legally in India, it must be NPNT (No Permission No Take-off) compliant, which requires drone manufacturers to integrate an RFM (Registered Flight Module) that verifies flight authorization from the DGCA and prevents take-off without permission. The first drone to receive NPNT compliance in India was designed by Quidich and Asteria.

TESTS THAT

DRONE SHOULD
PASS
Quality ■ Establishing and running a framework for national
accreditation while promoting quality through the
Control National Quality campaign is the responsibility of

Council of the Quality Control Council of India.


■ After meetings with the Inter-ministerial Task
India (QCI) Force, the Committee of Secretaries, and the Group
of Ministers, the Quality Council of India (QCI)
was founded as a National Organisation for
Accreditation on the suggestions of the EU Expert
Mission in 1996.
■ The QCI operates using its own resources in
addition to money earned through investments in
quality promotion and accreditation fees.

■ To create and promote quality standards across all
1.html
) social and economic sectors is the primary goal of
QCI.
QCI and QCI conducts drone flight testing process
described by it which involves 7 stages drone
DRONES flight testing. They are;

■ Stage 1: Pre-flight Assessments


■ Stage 2 : Take Off
■ Stage 3: Loiter Test
■ Stage 4: Cruise Test
■ Stage 5 & 6: Return to Home & Land
■ Stage 7: Endurance Test
■ Stage 1
– Pre flight assessment
– NACB (National Accreditation Board Of Certified Bodies) approves on verifying the
submitted application by the drone manufacturer
– NPNT ( No Permission No Take-off) test is done here
■ Stage 2
– Simple take-off & hover
– At altitude 10m AGL (above ground level)
■ Stage 3
– For fixed wing and VTOL drones
– Loiter/hover test
– Perform basic directional maneuver and fly at specified flight path
– Loiter around the airstrip at 100m AGL for 5 mins
– Drone checked for excess vibration and stability in auto-loiter
– Level the drone along the airstrip and fly on either side
■ Stage 4
– Checks drone’s hardware and software
– RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) not to cross 120m AGL of altitude, both
C2 links must be connected continuously and the geo location must be streamed at
the ground control software screen
■ Stage 5 & 6
– In stage 5, the drone must land at its starting point and remain there for a
predetermined amount of time.
– In stage 6, the drone must land safely and without any harm to its components.
■ Stage 7
– Checks the endurance of the drone, before and after flight like its battery drain,
flight time, etc.
– Upon successful completion, a completion report containing all the
RPAS/technical drone's and performance information will be created.
NPNT – No Permission No Take OFF

■ To fly a drone in India, NPNT is the most primary pre-flight access that you should get.
■ RFM (Registered Flight Module) – a combination of both hardware and software, is
module that should be fitted to the drone which make it NPNT compliant.
Role of RFM :-
– Enables the drone(unlocks), after you get permission to fly from DGCA
– created to carry out three key tasks: verifying flight record data, acquiring
authorization to fly, and drone registration. It should go without saying that this
demands significant thought and considerable contemplation.
How does
NPNT works?

NPNT works on tow stages


like,
• Before permission, and
• After permission
Before Permission After Permission
■ In Digital Sky application, you need to ■ Import the artifact file to the device
upload, (laptop /tab/mobile) that is provided
– Pilot license along with the drone by the OEM
– UIN (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
– Flying location which is the GCS (Ground Control
System).
– Date & time
– Duration ■ RFM in the drone verifies the .xml
– Flight plan
file.
– Max altitude ■ Later, the drone gets unlocked after
the verification.
■ These details gets verified by Digital Sky.
■ Fly permission The document will be
in .xml format .xml
Extensible Markup Language is known as XML. It
■ The document that you receive is called is a markup language for text that evolved from
the permission artifact. Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).
■ This artifact is valid only for the Instead of describing how to display the data, like
mentioned location, date, time, altitude, HTML tags do, XML tags identify the data and are
etc. used to store and organise the data.
The first drone to get NPNT compliance

During flight, if the drone exceeds (falls ■ Quidich – Uses drones for aerial broadcast
out) the mentioned altitude or area, it ■ Asteria – makes drone’s hardware and
returns back to its initial terminus. software
■ These two companies together designed
drone (called Copterqam), which is the
first to get NPNT compliance.
