About VL TYPECERT SERVICES
VL TYPECERT SERVICES is an India-based drone and UAS type certification consultancy providing engineering, documentation, testing and certification support to drone manufacturers, OEMs, startups and UAS developers.
Our team comes from an aerospace and UAV engineering background, with practical experience in drone design, development, testing, documentation, quality systems and certification-related activities. We combine engineering knowledge with certification-focused documentation and compliance support to help manufacturers prepare their UAS for the applicable certification requirements.
Company Background
Who We Are
VL TYPECERT SERVICES is an independent drone type certification consultancy based in India. We partner directly with UAV manufacturers, aerospace OEMs, defense technology startups, and drone innovators to navigate the complex engineering and regulatory milestones required for commercial airworthiness approval.
Our founders and engineering specialists come from dedicated aerospace and UAV backgrounds. Rather than treating certification as merely an administrative paperwork exercise, we approach every UAS platform from an aeronautical engineering perspective—evaluating load factors, propulsion efficiencies, structural stresses, electrical schematics, and fail-safe safety modes before assembling the regulatory dossier.
We work alongside your engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure your unmanned aerial system (UAS) aligns with the applicable Certification Scheme for UAS (CS-UAS) requirements under the Drone Rules, 2021.
