Dronavia – Kronos MVC3 for DJI Mavic 3

Kronos MVC3: Professional Safety Parachute System for DJI Mavic 3

The Kronos MVC3 is the reference Parachute Recovery System (PRS) and Flight Termination System (FTS) for the DJI Mavic 3 range (Enterprise, Classic, Cine). Developed by Dronavia, it converts your drone into a Class C5 EASA-compliant aircraft, enabling specific category missions under STS-01, STS-02 scenarios and SORA/PDRA authorizations.

In the event of a critical incident — loss of control, collision, technical failure — the Zéphyr FTS instantly cuts the motors while the parachute deploys autonomously in 0.27 seconds. Impact energy is significantly reduced, protecting people and property on the ground.

Class C5 Compliance and EASA Regulation

The Kronos MVC3 conversion kit is certified according to European standards:

• MoC Light-UAS.2511 — Flight Termination System (FTS): compliant internal Zéphyr circuit breaker
• MoC Light-UAS.2512 (M2) — Parachute Recovery System (PRS): certified recovery system

This dual compliance transforms your DJI Mavic 3 (Class C1) into a Kronos AD Mavic 3 (Class C5) drone, meeting EASA requirements for specific category operations. Ideal for professionals operating in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and across the European Union.

Internal Zéphyr FTS Installation

The internal Zéphyr circuit breaker system (FTS) installation in the DJI Mavic 3 must be carried out by a certified technician in an authorized workshop. Drone Parts Center has a workshop in Nivelles (Belgium) for this service. The drone can also be sent via postal delivery (shipping costs on request or at your expense).

The DJI manufacturer warranty is preserved: in case of DJI repair, the conversion kit is removed before shipping. This removal and reinstallation is a service offered by DPC.

Annual Maintenance and Inspection

Annual inspection is mandatory to maintain system compliance and Class C5 certification validity. It includes:

• Full PRS and Zéphyr FTS inspection
• Deployment test
• Replacement of consumables if necessary
• Certification renewal for 12 months

Rearming after deployment takes just a few minutes via simple Kronos Mini POD exchange.
