FAR 91.119 (c) is waived only with respect to t hose persons, vehicles and structures directly involved in the performance of the actual filmi ng. The certificate holder shall ensure that no persons are allowed within 500 feet of the area except those consenting to be involved and necessary for the filming producti on. This provision may be reduced to no less than 200 feet if an equivalent level of safety can be achieved and the Administrator has approved it. For example, an equivalent level of safety may be determined by an ASI’s evaluation of the filming production area to note terrain features, obstructions, buildings, etc. Such barriers may protect nonparticipating persons (observers, the public, news media, etc.) from debris in the event of an accident.
