Regulations

This sUAS operation is subject to 14 CFR Part 107 because compensation (money or otherwise) makes the operation commercial in nature.

You may operate an sUAS from a moving vehicle if you are in a sparsely populated area and the driver does not serve as the remote PIC, person manipulating the controls, or VO.

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

Part 107 sUAS operations require minimum visibility of 3 SM and the minimum distance from clouds must be no less than 500 feet below the cloud; and 2,000 feet horizontally from the cloud. To maintain 500 feet below the clouds, you must have a 900-foot ceiling to be able to operate to the maximum 400 feet AGL, or a ceiling that would allow the sUAS to operate at a lower AGL altitude.

An unmanned aircraft means an aircraft operated without the possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the aircraft.

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 remote pilot application must be submitted to a FSDO, a DPE, an airman certification representative for a pilot school, a CFI, or other person authorized by the Administrator to process the application.

The remote PIC must report any sUAS accident to the FAA, within 10 days of the operation, if a serious injury to any person or any loss of consciousness occurs. It would be considered a serious injury if a person requires hospitalization.

Each remote PIC who deviates from a rule in Part 107 must, upon request of the FAA Administrator, send a written report of that deviation to the Administrator.
