Development of Standardization Framework For UAV Airworthiness in Thailand

This manuscript addresses development of a standardization framework for UAVs in Thailand, weighing up to 150 kg. Through examination of international regulations and engagement with governmental and industrial experts, ensure UAV safety and airworthiness of UAVs with socioeconomic contexts considered. The study focuses on the technique used in developing the standard as well as the future outlook for further improvement. The proposed airworthiness framework comprises of regulation items as well as the corresponding standardized test procedures. It is anticipated that practical implementation of the proposed standard would raise safety awareness and support sustainable growth of UAV industry in Thailand.
