Obtaining Type Certification for the Matrice 4D Series concretizes the decision-making for introducing industrial drones

The DJI Matrice 4D series is a drone compatible with industrial applications such as inspection, surveying, monitoring, disaster prevention, and facility management. The DJI Matrice 4D and DJI Matrice 4TD obtained Type Certification Class 2 from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on June 19, 2026.

The Matrice 4D series also supports remote operation when combined with the dedicated drone port "DJI Dock 3." It enables consideration of operations such as patrols, inspections, and status checks from a distance, even in situations where personnel are not constantly present on-site.

This seminar will explain what kind of aircraft the Matrice 4D series is and in what types of operations it can be utilized, along with points to check after obtaining type certification.

Clarifying the relationship between Type Certification, Aircraft Certification, and Pilot Skill Certification

When introducing and operating industrial drones, understanding the systems under the Civil Aeronautics Act is as important as the aircraft's performance. For specific flights, confirmation of aircraft certification, pilot skill certification, and flight permits/approvals is required depending on the flight content.

Type certification is a system for mass-produced aircraft designed and manufactured by manufacturers. On the other hand, aircraft certification is a system that verifies the strength, structure, and performance of each individual unmanned aircraft intended for specific flights.

This seminar will clarify the differences between type certification, aircraft certification, and pilot skill certification, and explain the system-related points to check when considering the introduction and operation of the Matrice 4D series. It will cover not only the names of the systems but also how they relate to actual operational use.

JULC explains the Civil Aeronautics Act and the process of obtaining pilot skill certification

JULC, which operates training institutions for national licenses (pilot skill certification) nationwide, will explain the overview of the Civil Aeronautics Act, the systems for type certification, aircraft certification, and pilot skill certification, and the procedures for obtaining aircraft certification and pilot skill certification.

Unmanned aircraft pilot skill certification is a system to certify that one possesses the necessary skills to fly an unmanned aircraft. Pilot skill certification is divided into Class 1 and Class 2, depending on the flight content and whether or not access control measures are in place.

This seminar will provide system information useful not only for those considering obtaining a national license but also for companies, municipalities, infrastructure managers, facility managers, security personnel, and disaster prevention personnel who wish to establish drone operation systems within their organizations.
