Section 107.77 Change of name or address. (2018) - December 20, 2017
in Federal Drone Law / Model Aircraft Rules (Part 101) tagged Model Aircraft Rules / Section 336
UPDATE: On August 29, 2016, Part 101 went into effect. Part 101 is essentially just a copy-paste of Section 336. It is currently being challenged in a lawsuit up in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
There needs to be one point of clarification on this section in that Section 336 is focused on the FAA, not the public, and tells the FAA that they “may not promulgate any rule or regulation regarding a model aircraft, or an aircraft being developed as a model aircraft” if a model aircraft[2] is meeting all the 5 elements above. The FAA has misapplied this section repeatedly, most notoriously in the recent registration requirement that John Taylor and me sued over in the D.C. Circuit. A lengthy blog post on 336 and the registration regulations is here.
Will the FAA continue to honor this Pre-Part 101 memo?
Part 101 is really a copy-paste of 336. The FAA MAY continue to honor it but also might change their mind as time goes on. Interpretations are NOT the law, but the FAA’s view on how to follow the law. Nothing locks this interpretation in stone. They can easily switch it up on everyone tomorrow.
If you an educational institution getting into this area, I would highly suggest you seek out competent aviation legal advice. I created a large article on drone law for educators which talks about Section 333, Part 101, and Part 107 with regards to educators, universities, etc.
When shopping around for legal help, consider the background of the attorney and if they have any experience because………Posers will keep your program grounded while an attorney who is a pilot will help it soar.
[11] “The FAA is aware that at least one community-based organization permits “first person view” (FPV) operations during which the hobbyist controls the aircraft while wearing goggles that display images transmitted from a camera mounted in the front of the model aircraft. While the intent of FPV is to provide a simulation of what a pilot would see from the flight deck of a manned aircraft, the goggles may obstruct an operator’s vision, thereby preventing the operator from keeping the model aircraft within his or her visual line of sight at all times.” Footnote 2 on Page 8-9 of https://www.faa.gov/uas/media/model_aircraft_spec_rule.pdf
