The remote PIC of the small unmanned aircraft is required to report an accident to the FAA within 10 days if it meets any of the following thresholds: 1. At least serious injury to any person or any loss of consciousness. A serious injury is an injury that qualifies as Level 3 or higher on the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) of the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM). The AIS is an anatomical scoring system that provides a means of ranking the severity of an injury and is widely used by emergency medical personnel. The FAA currently uses serious injury (AIS Level 3) as an injury threshold in other FAA regulations. AIS 3 Example: A person requires hospitalization, but the injury can fully heal (including, but not limited to, head trauma, broken bone(s), or laceration(s) to the skin that requires suturing). 2. Damage to any property, other than the small unmanned aircraft, if the cost is greater than $500 to repair or replace the property (whichever is lower). Example: A small unmanned aircraft damages a property with a fair market value of $200, and it would cost $600 to repair the damage. Because the fair market value is below $500, this accident is not required to be reported. Similarly, if the aircraft causes $200 worth of damage to property with a fair market value of $600, that accident is also not required to be reported because the repair cost is below $500 (§ 107.9).", "id": "1", "title": "AC107-2A", "summary": "This AC provides guidance in the areas of airman (remote pilot) certification, aircraft registration and marking, aircraft airworthiness, and the operation of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the National Airspace System (NAS) to promote compliance with the requirements of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 107.", "source": "null, "authors": null, "categories": null, "comment": null, "journal_ref": null, "primary_category": "cs.AI", "published": null, "updated": null, "references": []} |

A person who does not hold a Remote Pilot Certificate or a remote pilot who has not met the recurrent training requirements of part 107 may operate the small UAS under part 107, as long as they are directly supervised by a remote PIC and the remote PIC has the ability to take immediate, direct control of the small UAS. This ability is necessary to ensure the remote PIC can quickly address any hazardous situation. The ability of the remote PIC to take over the flight controls immediately could be achieved by using a number of different methods. The operation could involve a “buddy box” type system that uses two control stations (CS): one for the person manipulating the flight controls and one for the remote PIC that allows the remote PIC to override the other CS and immediately take direct control of the small unmanned aircraft (§ 107.19). Another method could involve the remote PIC standing close enough to the person manipulating the flight controls so that they would be able to physically take over the CS from the other person. Another method could employ the use of an automation system where the remote PIC could immediately engage that system to put the small unmanned aircraft in a pre-programmed “safe” mode such as a hover, a holding pattern, or “return home.”", "id": "5", "title": "AC107-2A", "summary": "This AC provides guidance in the areas of airman (remote pilot) certification, aircraft registration and marking, aircraft airworthiness, and the operation of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the National Airspace System (NAS) to promote compliance with the requirements of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 107.","source": "null, "authors": null, "categories": null, "comment": null, "journal_ref": null, "primary_category": "cs.AI", "published": null, "updated": null, "references": []} |
