2025/2026.
Advisory Circular (AC) 107-2
Provides guidance in the areas of airman
(remote pilot) certification, aircraft registration & marking, aircraft airworthiness, and the operation
of sUAS' in the National Airspace System (NAS) to promote compliance with the requirements of
Title 14's Chapter 1F's Part 107, and sUAS'. It isn't intended on providing a legal interpretation of said
regulations. It isn't a regulation and doesn't change, add, or delete and regulations.
What is a Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS)?
The control station/remote control and the communication link between the control station &
sUAV/drone.
What is a Control Station (CS)?
An interface used by the remote PIC or the person manipulating the controls to control the flight
path of the sUAS.
This is the remote control.
What are corrective lenses?
Spectacles or contact lenses
What's a model aircraft?
Any UA that's:
•Capable of sustained flight.
• Flown within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) of the person manipulating the flight controls.
• Flown for hobby or recreational purposes.
Who is a "Person Manipulating the Controls"?
Someone other than the remote PIC who is controlling the flight of a sUAS under the supervision of
the remote PIC.
Remote Pilot-in-Command (Remote PIC)
Anybody who holds a not expired remote pilot certificate with a sUAS rating. They have the final
authority & responsibility for the operation & safety of the sUAS.
, This is the owner of the sUAV & sUAS.
What is an Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV)?
Any drone that weighs less than 55 pounds on takeoff, including everything that's on board or
otherwise attached to it.
Who is a Visual Observer (VO)?
A person acting as a flightcrew member who assists the remote PIC & the person manipulating the
controls to see & avoid other air traffic, objects aloft, or aircraft on the ground
Information
The FAA relies on _______ provided by owners and remote pilots of sUAS when it authorizes
operations or when it has to make a compliance determination. Accordingly, the FAA may take
appropriate action against an sUAS owner, operator, remote PIC, or anyone else who fraudulently or
knowingly provides false records or reports, or otherwise reproduces or alters any records, reports,
or other information for fraudulent purposes. Such action could include civil sanctions and the
suspension or revocation of a certificate or waiver
When does the remote PIC have to report an accident to the FAA (or NTSB in some cases)?
(1) Serious injury to anybody or any loss of consciousness. A serious injury is an injury that qualifies
as Level 3 or higher on the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) of the Association for the Advancement of
Automotive Medicine (AAAM).
(2) Damage to any property, other than the sUAV, but only if the cost is greater than $500 to repair
or replace the property (whichever is lower).
What is the time limit for reporting a crash to the FAA?
10 calendar days, starting at the time of the crash
Where in the FAA do you submit a crash report?
the appropriate FAA Regional Operations Center (ROC), electronically or by telephone
What should a crash report include?
1. sUAS remote PIC's name & contact information.
2. sUAS remote PIC's FAA airman certificate number.
3. sUAS' FAA registration number, if required
4. Location of the crash.
5. Date of the crash.
6. Time of the crash.
7. Person(s) injured & extent of injury, if any or known
