• Part 61 pilot certificate holders may obtain a temporary remote pilot certificate immediately
upon submission of their application for a permanent certificate. Other applicants will obtain a
temporary remote pilot certificate upon successful completion of TSA security vetting. The FAA
anticipates that it will be able to issue a temporary remote pilot certificate within 10 business
days after receiving a completed remote pilot certificate application.
• Until international standards are developed, foreign-certificated UAS pilots will be required to
obtain an FAAissued remote pilot certificate with a small UAS rating.
A remote pilot in command must:
• Make available to the FAA, upon request, the small UAS for inspection or testing, and any
associated documents/records required to be kept under the rule.
• Report to the FAA within 10 days of any operation that results in at least serious injury, loss
of consciousness, or property damage of at least $500.
• Conduct a preflight inspection, to include specific aircraft and control station systems checks,
to ensure the small UAS is in a condition for safe operation.
• Ensure that the small unmanned aircraft complies with the existing registration requirements
specified in § 91.203(a)(2). A remote pilot in command may deviate from the requirements of
this rule in response to an in-flight emergency.
Aircraft Requirements:
• FAA airworthiness certification is not required. However, the remote pilot in command must
conduct a preflight check of the small UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe operation.
Model Aircraft:
• Part 107 does not apply to model aircraft that satisfy all of the criteria specified in section 336
of Public Law 112-95.
• The rule codifies the FAA’s enforcement authority in part 101 by prohibiting model aircraft
operators from endangering the safety of the NAS.
