Regulations

The sUAS must remain within VLOS of flight crewmembers. The VLOS requirement would not prohibit actions such as scanning the airspace or briefly looking down at the sUAS control station. Should the remote PIC or person manipulating the controls lose VLOS of the small UA, he or she must regain VLOS as soon as possible.Answer (A) is incorrect because vision aids such as binoculars may be used only momentarily to enhance situational awareness. Answer (C) is incorrect because crewmembers must be able to see the sUAS at all times during flight.

The sUAS must be registered by a person who is at least 13 years of age.

A refusal to submit to a test to indicate the percentage by weight of alcohol in the blood, when requested by a law enforcement officer, or a refusal to furnish or authorize the release of the test results requested by the Administrator, is grounds for denial of an application for a Remote Pilot Certificate with an sUAS Rating for a period of up to 1 year after the date of that refusal; or suspension or revocation of a Remote Pilot Certificate with an sUAS Rating.

The person who submits the declaration of compliance (DOC) is responsible for making sure the sUAS is marked and listed on the DOC.

The remote PIC must complete a preflight familiarization, inspection, and other actions, such as crewmember briefings, prior to beginning flight operations.

Report any sUAS accident to the FAA within 10 days if it results in serious injury, loss of consciousness, or repairs costing over $500.

The sUAS cannot be flown higher than 400 feet AGL unless flown within a 400-foot radius of a structure and is not flown higher than 400 feet above the structure's immediate uppermost limit.

This operation is recreational in nature. However, Part 48 "Registration and Marking Requirements for sUAS" applies for all operations of an sUAS over .55 pounds, whether for work of your own enjoyment.

No report is required because the damage can be repaired for less than $500. A report is required only when damage to any property, other than the small UA, is greater than $500 to repair or replace the property (whichever is lower). The cost of the sUAS is not considered when determining if an event is considered to be an accident or incident.
