Fill in 基础数据

Empty weight (kg): The weight of the drone without any mission payloads or fuel, but including all permanently installed fixed components, including: 机身、机翼、尾翼、电机、电调、飞控、GPS 模块、接收机、舵机、螺旋桨、RID 模块、所有连接线材、起落架
Maximum takeoff weight (kg): The maximum takeoff weight permitted by the drone's design and that you will actually use, including: 空机重量 + 所有载荷（相机、云台、挂载物）+ 全部燃料 / 电池
Maximum flight altitude (m): The maximum vertical flight height of the drone relative to the ground directly below (not relative to the takeoff point), compliance reference value: 微型无人机：≤50m，轻型 / 小型无人机：≤119m（蓝区适飞空域）. If you enter the maximum altitude limit of the flight controller (e.g., 1000m), the system will classify it as a high-risk device, and control requirements will be upgraded
Maximum level flight speed (km/h): The maximum stable speed the drone can achieve during horizontal straight flight, compliance reference value: 微型无人机：≤40km/h，轻型无人机：≤100km/h. If the entered speed exceeds the limit for the corresponding category, the system will automatically upgrade the classification
Maximum flight radius (m): The maximum horizontal distance from the operator when flying within visual line of sight. Enter a value not greater than 500m, as this is the practical limit for most visual flight operations. If you enter the maximum transmission distance (e.g., 5km, 10km), the system will determine that the drone has beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) capability, significantly upgrading control requirements. BVLOS flight requires prior approval regardless of circumstances and is unrelated to registration parameters
Complies with low-power short-distance technical requirements: Whether the radio transmission equipment meets the national technical requirements for low-power short-distance radio devices. If you purchased brand-name receivers, high-frequency heads, video transmitters, etc., from the market, select 是
Has airspace holding capability: Whether the drone has the ability to automatically maintain flight altitude and position. If it has any of the following functions: altitude hold, position hold, cruise, or return to home, select 是
Has reliable surveillance capability: If an RID module is installed, select 是
Product type: Select according to the actual situation. Both 固定翼 and VTOL固定翼 should be selected as fixed-wing
Maximum wheelbase (mm): The maximum distance between two motor shafts on the drone, in millimeters
Maximum overall length (mm): The maximum length from front to back of the drone, in millimeters
Maximum overall width (mm): The maximum width from left to right of the drone, in millimeters
Maximum overall height (mm): The maximum height from the lowest to the highest point of the drone, including landing gear and antennas
Control link method: Select according to your remote control system. For 2.4GHz remote controls and receivers, select the public radio frequency band. 915MHz is illegal equipment in China
Encoding method: Generally select 时分
Flight controller model: CoreWing flight controller. Fill in according to the product name on the paper manual in the packaging box
Flight controller manufacturer: CoreWing
Maximum flight time (min): It is recommended to enter a shorter time, not exceeding one hour

Fill in 动力系统

Key field explanations:

Battery model: Fill in according to the actual battery model and capacity used for flight
Battery manufacturer: Fill in according to the actual battery manufacturer used for flight

Fill in 其他设备

Control method: Fill in according to the actual operation method used for flight. APP, remote control, and ground control station are all commonly used, it is recommended to select all three
Has status indication function: Select 是

Fill in 应急处置

Key field explanations:

Has activation function: This is optional and can be left blank. If the flight controller or RID has activation capability, select 是
Has automatic return to home: For ArduPilot and iNav firmware, select 是
Has lost signal return to home: For ArduPilot and iNav firmware, select 是
Has low battery return to home: For ArduPilot and iNav firmware, select 是
Has obstacle avoidance function: According to the actual situation. If not installed, select 否. If installed, consult the obstacle avoidance manufacturer for the function method
Has geofence function: For ArduPilot and iNav firmware, select 否
