NineTenths | DJI AP100 Parachute for Matrice 400

AP100 Parachute

Designed for DJI Matrice 400, the DJI AP100 Parachute supports C5/UK5 and C6/UK6 operations while adding an additional layer of operational safety. Its independent power system and full-link redundancy ensure dependable performance, with both manual and automatic deployment options. Responding in under 600 ms and maintaining a descent rate below 5 m/s, it helps minimize impact by safeguarding the aircraft, payload, and surrounding environment.

EASA C5/C6 [2] | CAA UK5/UK6 [2]

When integrated with DJI Matrice 400, the DJI AP100 Parachute supports compliance with EASA C5/C6 and UK CAA UK5/UK6 operational requirements [2]. It enables organizations to meet European Standard Scenario requirements, including urban operations (STS-01) and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) missions (STS-02) [5].

Safety Self-Check with Dual Redundancy

Continuous System Monitoring

Throughout startup and every stage of flight, the parachute continuously monitors the gas generator and communication system status. Any detected abnormality is instantly reported through the Health Management System (HMS) in DJI Pilot 2, providing operators with real-time system awareness.

Intelligent Redundancy Validation

Featuring an independent flight control system and dedicated sensors, including an IMU, the DJI AP100 Parachute operates as a standalone safety system. Intelligent algorithms continuously verify flight data between the aircraft and the parachute, helping reduce the likelihood of unintended deployment.

Independent Backup Power

The built-in dual-capacitor power system provides up to one hour of independent backup power [6], allowing continuous flight attitude monitoring and automatic parachute deployment even if the aircraft’s primary power or E-Port connection is unavailable.

Rapid Motor Shutdown

Upon activation, the independent Flight Termination System (FTS) disconnects motor power in less than 600 ms [3]. By stopping the propellers before parachute deployment, the system helps prevent entanglement and supports a safer descent.

Audio and Visual Alerts

Following deployment, the system activates high-intensity flashing lights and audible alarms for approximately one hour. These alerts help keep people clear of the landing area while making it easier for operators to locate and recover the aircraft.

Fast Deployment, Reduced Impact

With an automatic deployment response time of less than 600 ms and a stabilized descent speed below 5 m/s, the DJI AP100 Parachute helps minimize impact during emergency landings when deployed from the recommended operating altitude.

Automatic Deployment
Manual Deployment

The DJI AP100 Parachute automatically deploys when abnormal flight attitude or speed is detected. In supported regions, including the EU and UK, deployment can also be triggered if the aircraft crosses a geofencing boundary configured in DJI Pilot 2.

Operators can manually deploy the parachute using the on-screen control in DJI Pilot 2. In supported countries and regions, remote deployment is also available through the Flight Termination System (FTS) interface in DJI FlightHub 2, using the aircraft serial number and a verification code.

Lightweight Design, Easy to Transport

Lightweight Construction

Weighing approximately 935 g, the DJI AP100 Parachute maintains the Matrice 400’s maximum takeoff weight of 15.8 kg while reducing flight endurance by only around six minutes, allowing operators to enhance flight safety with minimal impact on mission performance.

Convenient Storage

Designed with a rear-mounted configuration, the parachute does not interfere with battery replacement or payload installation. The Matrice 400 can also be stored directly in its carrying case with the parachute installed, reducing preparation time before deployment.

Built for Demanding Environments

Matching the IP55 protection rating of the Matrice 400, the DJI AP100 Parachute is built to operate reliably in harsh outdoor conditions, including dusty and rainy environments. It also delivers stable performance in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 50°C, supporting dependable operation across a wide range of climates.
