Study Notes
Preflight Familiarization
- Remote pilot must assess operating environment, considering risks to people/property near the aircraft, both on the ground and in the air
- Includes local weather, airspace restrictions, people/property locations, and other ground hazards
- Inform all participants about operating conditions, emergency/contingency procedures, roles/responsibilities, and potential hazards
- Ensure all control links between ground control station and aircraft are working properly
- Ensure sufficient power for intended operation time (if powered)
- Secure any objects attached to or carried by the aircraft to avoid affecting flight characteristics/controllability
- If operating over people (Subpart D), must comply with § 107.110, § 107.120(a), § 107.130(a), or § 107.140
Operating Limitations
- Aircraft groundspeed must not exceed 87 knots (100 mph)
- Maximum altitude is 400 feet above ground level, unless within 400 feet of a structure
- Maximum altitude is then limited to 400 feet above structure's highest point (not from ground)
- Minimum flight visibility from control station is 3 statute miles
- Measured as the average slant distance at which unlighted/lighted objects are visually identifiable during day/night
- Minimum distance from clouds is 500 feet below the cloud and 2,000 horizontal feet from the cloud
Remote Pilot Certification
- Transponders are prohibited on small unmanned aircraft systems unless authorized by the Administrator
