## C

. Person s A ut hor i ze d

FAR 91.119 (c) is waived only with respect to those persons, vehicles and

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.
