- CHAPTER 5. PART 107 SUBPART B, OPERATING RULES (SMALL UAS) › 5.12 Operating Limitations for Small Unmanned Aircraft › 5.12.3 Visibility and Distance from Clouds
Obtaining local aviation weather reports that include current and forecast weather conditions is one means of determining visibility and cloud clearance. If there is more than one local aviation reporting station near the operating area, the remote PIC should choose ... available, the remote PIC cannot operate the small unmanned aircraft until they are able to determine the required visibility and cloud clearances by other reliable means. The small unmanned aircraft cannot be operated above any cloud, and there cannot…

moving back and forth between operational parts, if desired, because the requirements of parts 43 and 91 are more stringent than those of § 107.140 with regard to maintenance and airworthiness. 8.3.7.4.1 Consistent with other regulatory frameworks, such as parts ... owner is responsible for maintaining the small unmanned aircraft in accordance with the requirements of § 107.140(c). However, if the owner enters into an agreement with another entity to operate the small unmanned aircraft, the operator is responsible…

Figure 15-9 lists the operational and equipment requirements for these various classes of airspace. It is helpful to refer to this figure as the specific classes are discussed in greater detail. Class A Pilots operating an aircraft in Class ... airspace must conduct that operation under IFR and only under an ATC clearance received prior to entering the airspace. Unless otherwise authorized by ATC, each aircraft operating in Class A airspace must be equipped with a two-way radio capable…

altitudes. VFR over-the-top is strictly a VFR operation in which the pilot maintains VFR cloud clearance requirements while operating on top of an undercast layer. This situation might occur when the departure airport and the destination airport ... undercast in VFR conditions, then complete a VFR descent and landing at the destination. VFR cloud clearance requirements would be maintained at all times, and an IFR clearance would not be required for any part of the flight…
