Part 108 compliance for the people who build the aircraft.
Under the proposed Part 108, the manufacturer, not the operator, declares an aircraft compliant and keeps that declaration true for as long as the aircraft flies. That is a new, permanent job for every U.S. drone maker. We're building the stack for it.
What the proposed rule asks of manufacturers
- 1
A Declaration of Compliance against FAA-accepted consensus standards.
- 2
Trained, qualified people to prepare and sign it.
- 3
Configuration control, so the configurations you declared are the ones that fly.
- 4
A continued operational safety program: monitor the fleet, issue safety bulletins, correct problems.
- 5
Records the FAA can inspect.
Based on the August 2025 NPRM (docket FAA-2025-1908). Final requirements may change.
What we offer
DOC readiness training.
For the engineers and quality leads who prepare and sign declarations, delivered through our existing learning platform.
Configuration management.
Know which hardware and software configurations you've declared, and which are actually flying.
Continued operational safety.
Track field issues, publish safety bulletins, and show the corrective action.
Records and audit readiness.
What the FAA may ask to see, in one place, ready on request.
Readiness review.
A short, fixed-scope look at your current processes against the proposed rule, with a list of gaps to close.
Why start now
The rule is at final review. Declarations, training and quality systems take months to stand up, and every manufacturer will need them at the same time. We're working with a small number of design partners now.
