Parachutes that are specifically made for drones are designed so as to avoid damage during potential crashes/ditches to people or objects on the ground while simultaneously protecting the drone from being destroyed on impact. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, (UAV) or Drone parachutes can be designed as either a recovery system (to prevent the drone from crashing) or as standard landing device in the case of fixed-wing drones for example.
Their inclusion can support risk assessment management and justify enabling complex drone missions. With the advent of safety compliance for Drones whilst flying over persons on the ground being non-negotiable, it appears that it could just be a matter of time before drone recovery parachutes form part of regulatory compliance and any drone operator’s pre-departure checklist.

One of the central questions Aviation regulators around the globe are currently working on is how widespread drone operations can be integrated into airspace in a way that protects people and property from malfunctions. Much like in manned aviation, a regulatory framework will have to be established for unmanned operations to ensure flight safety, especially when considering the scaling potential of this industry with flights beyond the visual line of sight (B-VLOS) of the operator. Parachutes stand to potentially gain more significance in this new legal environment and make their way from a niche product to a critical safety feature.

A parachute reduces the impact energy on the ground and acts as the last line of defense by bringing down a defective drone safely. From a cost perspective, it is a good idea to use a drone parachute whenever a drone carries expensive equipment. Commercially used drones often carry sensors or cameras that can cost up to hundreds of thousands and are essential for businesses to run their operations. A parachute can save the equipment and also acts as an “insurance” that helps these companies stay in business—even enabling them to continue their mission right away,

Parachutes can make drone operations much safer, but there is of course an upfront financial investment to consider. While they are an optional safety feature for low‐risk flight operations, they can be essential in more-challenging environments. Avoiding crashes and expensive repairs can also reduce the overall costs of operating a drone and thus make a parachute a reasonable investment. When looking to make a purchase, keep in mind that a good system should be light, automatic, and reliable, with integrated flight termination.

CLOSING THE LOOP IN DRONE DELIVERIES
Lately there has been much published regarding the development of UAV Traffic Management (UTM). In brief, UTM is an air traffic management ecosystem under development on a global basis for autonomously controlled operations of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Whilst there have been announcements heralding the age of items such as:
 medical
 emergency
 cargo
being transferred via a drone from one site to another, there has been less attention given to exactly how such flights will be managed from start and end. In addition to this, there has been even less attention paid to the management of the protected airspace that will be needed to ensure the safety of these flights and other air traffic in the vicinity.
To facilitate this shortcoming ……… enter Droneports!
In simple terms, a Droneport provides a fixed or mobile location for the housing, maintenance, fuelling and piloting of commercial fleets of drones, including the safe flying passage of drones for that particular airspace. Large retail and logistics companies are investing in delivery drones with the aim of achieving increased efficiency, lower costs, and increased customer satisfaction.
Globally, there is currently very little guidance for the design and development of Droneports from any regulatory body. Environmentally some of the factors that can affect the operation of Drones and Droneports include noise factor, prevailing weather conditions, air quality and electromagnetic interference. Risk Mitigation of weather hazards, impact on the Droneport design and operation. Security, Droneport Access, Monitoring, Communications and meeting Aviation Regulation requirements are all key factors associated with a turnkey solution to meet the operational requirements of the Stakeholder.
In addition, Droneports extend beyond the concept of facilitating the supply of good on land, and include:
 Seaports – for the supply of services to shipping vessels and Offshore Instillations
 Vertiports – for the transfer of people via `Air Taxis`
 Spaceports – for the transfer of material from Earth to Space stations
As we review this product further, one is quickly able to determine that this concept is most certainly going to become part of our global reality in the very near future. An important consideration in this instance, is that the application of a Droneport Operation forges a mindset that supports a Safety Management System (SMS) culture.

Here`s an extract from the ICAO UTM Draft Framework Edition 3, regarding a proposed UTM System for all operators to consider.

Through UTM, it is envisaged that civil aviation authorities (CAAs) and ANSPs, to the extent that they are involved,
will be able to provide real-time information regarding airspace constraints and the intentions of other aircraft
available to UAS operators and their remote pilots directly or through a UTM service provider1 (USP). The UAS
operator would then be responsible for managing its operations safely within these constraints, without receiving
positive air traffic control (ATC) services from the ANSP. The primary means of communication and coordination
between the ANSP(s), USP, supplementary data service providers (SDSP), UAS operators, remote pilots and other
stakeholders may be through a distributed network of highly automated systems via application programming
interfaces (APIs), and not between pilots and air traffic controllers via voice communication.
