Introduction

An RPAS used in a professional environment must be approved. For this, EuroUSC-Benelux BV uses the AS-RPAS standard of the Human Environment & Transport Inspectorate (ILT). It prescribes that each aircraft must be inspected separately to obtain an S-BvL, Special Certificate of Airworthiness, and BvI, Certificate of Registration.

Procedure

It is best to contact us for an inspection with EuroUSC-Benelux BV via the following email address: admin@eurousc.aero .

Closed systems

A system must be presented openly to the inspector of EuroUSC-Benelux BV. In other words, each part must be clearly shown for checking.

If this is not the case, the producer can draw up a “manufacturer statement”. More information about this you can request via admin@eurousc.aero .

To date, this approach has not caused any problems.

Required Documentation

manual

EuroUSC-Benelux BV first checks all documentation before a ground inspection or flight test can take place. We therefore expect a handbook from the RPA with all important information. If you do not have this, you can request a model with all the minimum inspection requirements.

Form COM50

The former COM50 form on which the owner or user of the RPAS had to make the necessary additions has been replaced by AirSure, a secure platform for inspectors and owners/users of RPAS.

AirSure

Thanks to this digital solution, inspection work is considerably simpler, more transparent and faster. A secure platform with a personal login is sufficient to enter the necessary data via the user-friendly web interface.

Insurance Certificate

RPAS insurance in accordance with European legislation EU785/2004 is required. An inspection cannot take place without valid insurance. The insurance certificate must also be sent to admin@eurousc.aero.

Certificate of competence

The pilot who will operate the RPAS during the flight test must have a valid RPA-L and medical license.

Proof of registration

The RPAS must have a Proof of Registration (BvI) available before the flight test can be started. The rating of In other words, the documentation and the soil inspection can already take place before the Bvl has been delivered. There may be additional costs associated with this.
