AIM Part II defines airworthiness criteria for fixed-wing aircraft that carry up to 19 passengers and have a takeoff weight of 8,618 kg (19,000 lb) or less. Revision 61, the latest version of the AIM Part II, gives aircraft manufacturers a greater degree of flexibility in selecting the methods they will use to demonstrate the safety of their aircraft, allowing them to choose methods which best match the aircraft\u2019s specific characteristics.<\/p><p>The road to aircraft certification is broad and complex, particularly for new aircraft such as eVTOLs where existing regulations are still under development, and no standardized certification basis is available to anchor the process. This additional agreement now provides further clarity and direction.<\/p><p>Following the new agreement, SkyDrive and the JCAB remain in dialogue over the future certification plan, with the aim of reaching agreement over the required testing schedule and procedures. Once the certification plan is finalized, SkyDrive will begin ground and flight testing of the aircraft. Alongside its work with the JCAB, SkyDrive is working concurrently with the Federal Aviation Administration (\u201cFAA\u201d) to validate a certification process for SkyDrive\u2019s eVTOL in the United States. This strategic approach enables the company to align its certification efforts in both nations, paving a smoother path towards standardized global operations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0053525 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0053525\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dc87c1d\" data-id=\"dc87c1d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ff6233 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8ff6233\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/skydrive.co.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Certification-Progress-with-JCAB-and-FAA_\u00a9SkyDrive-1024x574.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skydrive.co.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Certification-Progress-with-JCAB-and-FAA_\u00a9SkyDrive-1024x574.png 1024w, https:\/\/skydrive.co.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Certification-Progress-with-JCAB-and-FAA_\u00a9SkyDrive-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/skydrive.co.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Certification-Progress-with-JCAB-and-FAA_\u00a9SkyDrive-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/skydrive.co.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Certification-Progress-with-JCAB-and-FAA_\u00a9SkyDrive.png 1209w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3f7a1c1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3f7a1c1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d5c25f3\" data-id=\"d5c25f3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0047182 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0047182\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Responding to the new agreement with the JCAB, Arnaud Coville, SkyDrive\u2019s Chief Development Officer said, \u201cWe are pleased to announce that the JCAB has issued the G-1 certification basis that will apply to our first commercial eVTOL aircraft.

The issuance of this certification basis represents the culmination of substantial efforts invested over several months. We are also thrilled with the recent progress achieved in our validation project with the FAA. Our prototype aircraft, which is currently undergoing an extensive series of flight tests, continues to accumulate valuable data as we make steady progress toward the upcoming demonstration flights at the Osaka Expo. As we pursue our certification roadmap and showcase the capabilities of our aircraft to the public, 2025 is set to become an important year for SkyDrive.
