The DJI AP100 parachute for Matrice 400 meets EU C5/C6 rules — but not Transport Canada's over-people requirements yet. What Canadian operators must know. DJI AP100 Parachute for DJI Matrice 400 Protect your aircraft, payload, and the people below with the DJI AP100 Parachute, DJI's official emergency recovery system designed exclusively for the DJI Matrice 400. Built for enterprise operators, public safety agencies, utility companies, surveyors, and industrial professionals, the AP100 provides an additional layer of operational safety through intelligent automatic and manual parachute deployment. Featuring an independent power supply, full-link redundancy, and its own flight control system, the AP100 continuously monitors aircraft attitude and flight conditions throughout every mission. In the event of a critical flight anomaly, the system can automatically stop the motors and deploy the parachute in less than 600 milliseconds, helping reduce descent speed to 5 m/s or less and minimizing potential damage to the aircraft, payload, and surrounding environment. Designed specifically for the DJI Matrice 400, the AP100 integrates seamlessly with the aircraft while maintaining DJI's rugged IP55 weather resistance. The lightweight design adds approximately 935 g, allowing operators to continue flying demanding enterprise missions while benefiting from enhanced safety and regulatory compliance. The AP100 also helps operators meet EASA C5/C6 and UK CAA UK5/UK6 operational requirements, making it an excellent solution for organizations performing flights over populated areas, BVLOS operations, and advanced commercial drone missions where additional safety systems are required.
