Section 107.47 Flight restrictions in the proximity of certain areas designated by
notice to airmen.
A person acting as a remote pilot in
command must comply with the provisions of SectionSection 91.137 through 91.145 and 99.7
of this chapter.
Section 107.49 Preflight familiarization, inspection, and actions for aircraft
operation.
Prior to flight, the remote pilot in
command must:
(a) Assess the operating environment, considering risks to persons and
property in the immediate vicinity
both on the surface and in the air. This
assessment must include:

(1) Local weather conditions;
(2) Local airspace and any flight restrictions;
(3) The location of persons and property on the surface; and
(4) Other ground hazards.
(b) Ensure that all persons directly
participating in the small unmanned
aircraft operation are informed about
the operating conditions, emergency
procedures, contingency procedures,
roles and responsibilities, and potential
hazards;
(c) Ensure that all control links between ground control station and the
small unmanned aircraft are working
properly;
(d) If the small unmanned aircraft is
powered, ensure that there is enough

Section 107.51 Operating
limitations
small unmanned aircraft.

A remote pilot in command and the
person manipulating the flight controls
of the small unmanned aircraft system
must comply with all of the following
operating limitations when operating a
small unmanned aircraft system:
(a) The groundspeed of the small unmanned aircraft may not exceed 87
knots (100 miles per hour).
(b) The altitude of the small unmanned aircraft cannot be higher than
400 feet above ground level, unless the
small unmanned aircraft:
(1) Is flown within a 400-foot radius of
a structure; and
(2) Does not fly higher than 400 feet
above the structure-s immediate uppermost limit.
(c) The minimum flight visibility, as
observed from the location of the control station must be no less than 3 statute miles. For purposes of this section,
flight visibility means the average
slant distance from the control station
at which prominent unlighted objects
may be seen and identified by day and
prominent lighted objects may be seen
and identified by night.
