CLASSIFICATION (DM dated 23rd June 2006) • RPAS classification is based on the energy related to weight and onboard
fuel quantity. According to a NATO case study, a 66J energy falling body is the hazard limit for a human being.
• The norm defines the following classification:
RPAS CLASS MILITARY A/C REGISTRATION
AV- STRATEGIC (MTOW>500kg)
YES
AV-TACTICAL (150kg<MTOW<500kg)
YES
AV-LIGHT (20kg<MTOW<150kg)
