Study Notes
Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC)
- AMC clarifies methods of compliance without being mandatory; "must" ensures applicability.
- AMC does not alter regulatory requirements or allow deviations.
Privacy-Related Laws
- Part 107 operators must consider state and local privacy laws for UAS operations.
- FAA encourages a review of these laws.
- NTIA has published voluntary best practices for UAS privacy, transparency, and accountability.
FAA Focus Areas
- FAA addresses aviation safety through three main aspects: personnel, equipment, and operations.
Exemptions to Part 107
- Part 107 is not applicable to:
- Model aircraft
- Operations outside the U.S.
- Amateur rockets
- Moored and unmanned free balloons
- Kites
- Public aircraft operations
- Air carrier operations
Model Aircraft Criteria
- Model aircraft must meet specific criteria under Part 101 Subpart E:
- Operated for hobby or recreational purposes
- Comply with community safety guidelines
- Weigh no more than 55 pounds unless certified otherwise
- Must yield to manned aircraft
- Notice required when operating within 5 miles of an airport
- Capable of sustained flight
- Must remain within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS)
Control Station (CS)
- CS is the interface for remote pilots to manage the small UA's flight path.
Corrective Lenses
- Includes spectacles and contact lenses, indicating vision requirements for operation.
Model Aircraft Definition
- A UA designed for hobby or recreational use, capable of sustained flight and operated within VLOS.
Person Manipulating the Controls
- This individual controls the sUAS under the remote pilot's supervision, distinct from the Remote Pilot in Command.
Remote Pilot in Command (Remote PIC)
- The Remote PIC holds a remote pilot certificate and has final authority and responsibility for sUAS operation safety.
Small Unmanned Aircraft (UA)
- Defined as any UA weighing less than 55 pounds, operated without direct human intervention onboard.
Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS)
- Comprises a small UA and all essential components, including communication links for safe NAS operations.
Unmanned Aircraft (UA) Definition
- An aircraft operated autonomously without direct human intervention from within the aircraft.
Visual Observer (VO)
- A flightcrew member assisting the remote PIC and control operator in maintaining visual awareness to avoid obstacles.
