- CHAPTER 5. PART 107 SUBPART B, OPERATING RULES (SMALL UAS) › 5.9 VLOS Aircraft Operation › 5.10.1 Small Unmanned Aircraft Operations Near an Airport—Notification and Permissions
remote PIC must yield right-of-way to all other aircraft, including aircraft operating on the surface of the airport (§ 107.43). Remote PICs are prohibited from operating a small unmanned aircraft in a manner that interferes with operations and traffic ... patterns at airports, heliports, and seaplane bases (§ 107.43). Small unmanned aircraft must always yield right-of-way to a manned aircraft. A manned aircraft may alter its flightpath, delay its landing, or take off in order to avoid a small…
- Chapter 4: Small Unmanned Aircraft Loading › Load Factors › Load Factors in Steep Turns
competent pilot should have a solid understanding of the forces that act on the aircraft, the advantageous use of these forces, and the operating limitations of the aircraft being flown. For example, a load factor of 3 means the total ... load on an aircraft’s structure is three times its weight. Since load factors are expressed in terms of Gs, a load factor of 3 may be spoken of as 3 Gs, or a load factor…
- CHAPTER 5. PART 107 SUBPART B, OPERATING RULES (SMALL UAS) › 5.17 Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft Systems › 5.17.3 Small unmanned aircraft without remote identification
small unmanned aircraft may be equipped with a remote identification broadcast module, or the small unmanned aircraft may be operated within an FAA-recognized identification area (FRIA) (§ 89.115). Unmanned aircraft equipped with remote identification modules may be integrated ... manufacturer (e.g., if a manufacturer upgraded or retrofit the aircraft) or a standalone broadcast module installed by the user secured to the unmanned aircraft prior to takeoff. The remote identification broadcast module broadcasts certain message elements directly from the unmanned…

Aircraft Documents Certificate of Aircraft Registration Before an aircraft can be flown legally, it must be registered with the FAA Aircraft Registry. The Certificate of Aircraft Registration, which is issued to the owner as evidence of the registration, must ... carried in the aircraft at all times. [Figure 9-8] The Certificate of Aircraft Registration cannot be used for operations when: • The aircraft is registered under the laws of a foreign country Figure 9-8. AC Form 8050-3, Certificate…

Declaration of Compliance Process for Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft. 5.17.1 After September 16, 2023, most small unmanned aircraft that are registered or required to be registered must comply with remote identification requirements. The serial number of a standard remote ... identification unmanned aircraft, or of the remote identification broadcast module, if one is installed on the unmanned aircraft, must be listed on the Certificate of Aircraft Registration. The serial number may only be listed on one Certificate of Aircraft Registration…
- Chapter 3: Aircraft Construction › Aircraft Design, Certification, and Airworthiness › A Note About Light Sport Aircraft
Note About Light Sport Aircraft Light sport aircraft are not designed according to FAA airworthiness standards. Instead, they are designed to a consensus of standards agreed upon in the aviation industry. The FAA has agreed the consensus of standards ... acceptable as the design criteria for these aircraft. Light sport aircraft do not necessarily have individually type certificated engines and propellers. Instead, a TC is issued to the aircraft as a whole. It includes the airframe, engine, and propeller. Aircraft…
