The remote pilot in command must be in good physical and mental condition, must pass an initial aeronautical knowledge test, and must obtain an unmanned aircraft operator certificate with a small UAS rating. Must also pass a recurrent aeronautical knowledge test every 24 months. Prior to flight, conduct a preflight inspection. Make available to the FAA, upon request, any and all documents and records. The remote pilot in command must also report an accident within 10 days if the small unmanned aircraft operation results in serious injury or property damage. The operation limitations are UAS must be less than 55 pounds, visual line-of-sight only, may use a visual observer, but it's not mandatory, cannot operate or supervise more than one UAS at a time, daylight-only. Must yield right-of-way to all other aircraft, no first-person view, cannot operate over people, not from a moving vehicle or aircraft except from water. Maximum airspeed of 100 miles per hour, maximum altitude of 400 feet unless inspecting a structure, minimum weather visibility of three statute miles, no Class Alpha airspace, need ATC permission for Class Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo airspace, can operate in Class Golf space without permission, and no careless or reckless operations.
