11) We will carry out maintenance, inspections, and record keeping requirements, in accordance 

with the operating documents. Maintenance, inspection, and alterations will be noted in the aircraft 

records, including total flight hours, description of work accomplished, and the signature of the 

authorized person returning the UAS to service. 

12) Each UAS operated will comply with all manufacturer Safety Bulletins. 

13) An authorized person will make an entry in the aircraft record of the corrective action taken 

against discrepancies discovered between inspections. 

14) UAS operations will be conducted by a PIC possessing at least a private pilot certificate and at 

least a current third-class medical certificate. The PIC will also meet the flight review requirements 

specified in 14 CFR 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate. 

15) Prior to operations conducted for the purpose of aerial videography/photography and for real 

estate listing videos and public and private events and similar operations, the PIC will have 

accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51(b), a minimum of 25 hours of 

total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pilot with a multi-rotor 

UAS. 

16) Prior to operations conducted for the purpose of aerial videography/photography and for real 

estate listing videos and public and private events and similar operations, the PIC will have 

accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51(b), a minimum of 5 hours as UAS 

pilot operating the make and model of the UAS to be used in operations. The PIC will accomplish 3 

take-offs and landings in the preceding 90 days. 

17) The PIC will not operate the UAS for the purpose of aerial videography/photography and for real 

estate listing videos and public and private events and similar operations, unless the PIC has 

demonstrated and logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51(b), the ability to safely operate 

the UAS in a manner consistent with the operating documents, including evasive and emergency 

maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. 

18) UAS operations will not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR 1.1. All operations will 

be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). 

19) The UA will not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point as denoted on a 

current FAA-published aeronautical chart. 

20) The UA will not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a 

cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC. 

21) If a UA loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it will return to a predetermined location 

within the planned operating area and land or be recovered in accordance with the operating 

documents. 

22) The PIC will abort a flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies in accordance 

with the operating documents. 

23) The PIC will not begin a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is 

enough power to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended landing point and land the UA with 

30% battery power remaining. 

24) We will obtain an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or Authorization 

(COA) prior to conducting any operations, and also request a Notice to Air-man (NOTAM) not more 

than 72 hours in advance, but not less than 48 hours prior to the operation. 

25) Before conducting operations, the radio frequency spectrum used for operation and control of 

the UA will comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or other appropriate 

government oversight agency requirements. 

26) The documents required under 14 CFR 91.9 and 91.203 will be available to the PIC at the Ground 

Control Station of the UAS any time the UAS is operating. These documents will be made available to 

the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request.
