Reliable Robotics, a leader in autonomous aircraft systems, on Tuesday announced that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has accepted the certification basis of its advanced navigation and autoflight system.
The final G-1 issue paper defines the certification basis for the company’s Supplemental Type Certification (STC) on the Cessna 208 Caravan — a popular cargo aircraft. This STC will enhance safety by enabling continuous autopilot engagement through all phases of aircraft operation, including taxi, take-off, cruise, landing, braking and rollout, with a single pilot on board for abnormal procedures.
“We are very appreciative of the FAA’s noteworthy attention to detail and ongoing support,” said Mark Mondt, Director of Certification at Reliable Robotics. “This certification basis is the culmination of years of work with the FAA and represents a key step towards bringing advanced navigation and autoflight systems to normal category aircraft. We look forward to continuing our work together as we move into the next phase of the certification process.”
