Pilot-in-Command Procedures for Multi-UA Operations

In plain language

If a team of pilots is managing multiple drones at once, you must have clear written procedures showing who is the pilot-in-command for each part of the flight.

Requirement as structured

If a pool of remote pilots controls multiple unmanned aircraft (UA) simultaneously, the operator must develop clear procedures defining who is the pilot-in-command responsible during each phase of the flight.

Original regulatory text
