other areas where flight below 500 feet AGL is planned or likely to occur. 7-6-5. Avoid Flight Beneath Unmanned Balloons a. The majority of unmanned free balloons currently being operated have, extending below them, either a suspension device ... part of the pilot dictates that aircraft should remain well clear of all unmanned free balloons and flight below them should be avoided at all times…

Therefore, good judgment on the part of the pilot dictates that aircraft should remain well clear of all unmanned free balloons and flight below them should be avoided at all times. b. Pilots are urged to report any unmanned free ... balloons sighted to the nearest FAA ground facility with which communication is established. Such information will assist FAA ATC facilities to identify and flight follow unmanned free balloons operating in the airspace. 7-6-6. Unmanned Aircraft Systems a. Unmanned…

Flight Mode 2 Flight Mode 3 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Category 2 Required Components Category 3 Required Components SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Selection of the FLIGHT MODE The [small unmanned aircraft make and model] is programmed with three (3) flight modes. The flight mode ... selected via the Flight Mode Control Selection Switch located just above the left-hand control stick. IMPORTANT: Selection of the flight mode determines the category of operations that the [small unmanned aircraft make and model] may conduct over people…

Before each flight, the remote PIC must determine the small unmanned aircraft flight control surfaces necessary for the safety of flight ... moving correctly through the manipulation of the small unmanned aircraft CS. If the remote PIC observes that one or more of the control surfaces are not responding correctly to CS inputs, then the remote PIC may not conduct flight operations…
