AVSS Australia — Parachute Recovery Systems for DJI Enterprise
AVSS (Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions) builds parachute recovery systems with integrated flight termination for DJI enterprise aircraft. D1 Store stocks AVSS kits for Matrice 4 Series, Matrice 4D Series (Dock 3) and Matrice 400 so Australian operators can add controlled emergency descent and documentation that supports over-people and SORA-style risk mitigation. Every kit sold here is genuine partner hardware from Australia's first and only DJI Authorised Retail Store, with local Melbourne support and Price Match on genuine local stock.
What is AVSS?
AVSS designs lightweight Parachute Pod™ recovery systems that mount to compatible DJI enterprise airframes without blocking GPS modules. Kits typically include the parachute pod, electronic module, autonomous triggering, attachment bracket, batteries and a plug-and-play flight termination path via DJI PSDK (with geofence options on some Dock-oriented variants). Automatic deployment is measured in fractions of a second, with manual trigger available for crew control.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an AVSS parachute cost in Australia?
At D1 Store, the Matrice 4 Series kit is $3,199, the Matrice 4D Series kit is $4,999, and the Matrice 400 kit is $6,280. Prices include GST and may change with stock or promotions.
Does AVSS help with CASA over-people or SORA mitigation?
AVSS publishes documentation paths aligned with ASTM F3322, EASA MOC 2511/2512 and JARUS M2-style mitigations, and notes Australian CASA over-people relevance on Dock 3 kits. Final approvals still sit with CASA and your operational risk assessment — use AVSS as the hardware and evidence package, not a substitute for an approval.
How fast does the parachute deploy?
Matrice 4 Series and Matrice 4D kits are specified for automatic deployment in less than 0.5 seconds. The Matrice 400 listing cites automatic deployment under 600 ms. Manual PSDK trigger remains available for crew-initiated recovery.
Is the parachute compatible with my Matrice payloads?
Kits are airframe-specific. Choose Matrice 4 Series for 4E/4T, Matrice 4D Series for Dock 3 M4D/M4TD, and Matrice 400 for the flagship airframe. Confirm payload clearance and take-off weight with the D1 enterprise team before you fly.
