4
For Category 2 operations over people, the small unmanned aircraft
Must not contain any exposed rotating parts that could lacerate human skin
For Category 3 operations over people, the small unmanned aircraft must not cause injury equivalent to or greater than the impact of
25 foot-pounds of kinetic energy
Category 4 operations are limited to unmanned aircraft
With FAA-issued airworthiness certificates
For operations conducted in Category 1, 2, and 4, sustained flight over an open air assembly is restricted to small unmanned aircraft that
Meet the Standard Remote ID (Part 89.110) requirements
Which category of operations over people requires the sUAS to not have an impact of greater than 11 foot-pounds of kinetic energy?
Category 2
Under what conditions can a Category 3 small UAS operate over people?
It can operate within a closed or restricted-access site where individuals have been notified of the operation or over people who are directly participating, under a covered structure, or inside a stationary vehicle.
For which categories of operations is sustained flight over open-air assemblies restricted to sUAS that meet Remote ID requirements?
Category 1, 2, and 4
The categories and their respective restrictions for operations over people at night
Do not change due to conditions of night.
What is a safe distance to maintain when flying near people who are not directly participating in the operation?
Part 107 does not impose a specific stand-off distance from people
Can you fly a small unmanned aircraft that is classified within multiple Categories?
Yes, if the remote pilot cannot inadvertently switch between modes or configurations.
