Welcome to the EuroUSC™ 'Qualified Entity' - main website
The European Unmanned Systems Centre (EuroUSC™) is Europe's leading independent Light UAS Accreditation Specialist for assessing 'Airworthiness & Pilot Qualifications'.
EuroUSC™ is the UK CAA Approved Organisation (DAI/9932/09) for assessing the ‘Airworthiness’ of Light Unmanned Aircraft Systems of 150Kg and below. The Light UAS Scheme™ (LUASS™) covers the Design, Construction (including functionality of embedded FCS software), Airworthiness, Operation, Pilot/Crew Qualifications and Exemption or Permission to operate. In 2004 EuroUSC™ obtained the first approval in the UK for a light UAS to operate from a Civil Airport.
EuroUSC™ is at the heart of the light UAS revolution in Europe and safety is at the core of everything EuroUSC™ does through its airworthiness approvals and crew qualifications under the Light UAS Scheme (LUASS™). Our aim is make the light UAS revolution a reality by assisting Manufacturers, Distributors, Operators and UAS Crew/pilots operate using best practices and recognised standards in an efficient manner.
EuroUSC™ can undertake inspections worldwide issuing Design & Construction Certificates (Airworthiness) in the country of Manufacture or Operation. Currently these Certificates are valid in:-
• United Kingdom.
• Territories which are under UK CAA remit.
• Countries which have a reciprocal arrangement with the United Kingdom.
• Countries which accept the D&C Certificate as proof of ‘Airworthiness’.
The Light UAS Scheme™ is applicable to:
• Manufacturers• Distributors
• Operators
• Pilots & Crew through the Basic National UAS Certificate
• Flight Training Schools
• End Customers
We also offer Customers to the Industry a readily accessible way to assess their potential or current applications, providing leading edge insight into the most effective and efficient way to gain the most from this emerging industry revolution.
EuroUSC™ is the only organisation granted Qualified Entity status in the UK and operates the Light UAS Scheme covering Manufacturers, Distributors, Operators and UAS Crew. Its BNUC™ and BNUC-S™ Crew/pilot qualifications are the most advanced in Europe.
EuroUSC™ works with many companies and organisations developing practical ways to operate Unmanned Aircraft Systems. We offer many proven services that when combined provide an excellent base for safe and efficient operations.
The Light UAS Scheme LUASS™ provides services that support the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) requirements for design, construction and operational assessment of Light UAS under 150 Kg for flight operations in the UK.
With its solid background in military and civil aircraft operations, EuroUSC has the edge when it comes to understanding the commercial realities of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operations and training.
UAS assessment and Client choices - Clients can have their UAS project assessed by choosing from the following 2 options:-
1. Businesses and Projects in early stages of development where your company requires confirmation that the UAS will meet the necessary CAA and other regulatory body requirements then order a QLS assessment report. Follow link for details
2. Mature Projects requiring a full Design & Construction Certificate for a specific UAS to enable test flight and CAA exemption to perform aerial work then your company will need to Register for LUASS™, by following the instructions given on the Registration Page. A Registration Fee is chargeable - follow link for details.
Note: Registered Clients will receive a user name and password to the LUASS™ collaborative system.
