Scope1.1 This standard defines the quality assurance requirementsfor the design, manufacture, and production of a small un-manned ai

3、rcraft system (sUAS).1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

11、e word“shall” implies that a procedure or statement is mandatory andmust be followed to comply with this standard, “should”implies recommended, and “may” implies optional at thediscretion of the supplier, manufacturer, or operator. Since“shall” statements are requirements, they include sufficientdet

13、hat could be used in safety evaluations, and couldlead to development of future requirements. “May” statementsare provided to clarify acceptability of a specific item orpractice, and offer options for satisfying requirements.4.
