Service Bulletin. Aviation Safety Applied to Drones and eVTOL
Safety in Drones and eVTOL
Embention, a pioneer in systems for drone and eVTOL certification, incorporates Service Bulletin into its products for autonomous aircraft as part of its operational safety policy. This allows Veronte equipment users to stay updated on any need for improvement or correction affecting Embention products, thus maintaining safety standards comparable to those of traditional certified aviation.
Depending on their criticality, service bulletins are classified by consideration. Embention has adopted a system with 3 categories:
