Study Notes
Preflight Familiarization and Actions
- Remote pilots must assess operating environment risks to people and property near the aircraft (surface and air). This includes local weather, airspace, surface locations/property, and ground hazards.
- Pilots must inform all participants about operating conditions, emergency procedures, contingency plans, roles, and potential hazards.
- Ensure all control links between the ground control station and the small unmanned aircraft are functioning correctly.
- Confirm sufficient power for the intended operation time if the small unmanned aircraft is powered.
- Secure any objects attached or carried by the aircraft to avoid affecting its flight characteristics.
- If operating over people, follow requirements of § 107.110, § 107.120(a), § 107.130(a), or § 107.140, as applicable.
Operating Limitations
- Maximum ground speed is 87 knots (100 mph).
- Maximum altitude is 400 feet above ground level, unless within a 400-foot radius of a structure, and not exceeding 400 feet above the structure's highest point.
- Minimum flight visibility from the control station is 3 statute miles (prominent objects visible).
- Minimum distance from clouds: 500 feet below and 2000 feet horizontally.
Remote Pilot Certification
- Transponders are prohibited during operation of unmanned aircraft systems unless authorized by the FAA Administrator.
