Flight Operations Knowledge Requirements for Level 1 Complex Operations

In plain language

You must understand the operational structure of a Remotely Piloted Operator Certificate (RPOC), how to identify and mitigate hazards, what a Concept of Operations (CONOPS) is, how to manage fuel or battery levels during flight, and how to make adjustments to your flight plan after takeoff.

Requirement as structured

An RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must demonstrate knowledge of operational structures, hazard identification and mitigation, CONOPS, terrain modeling, fuel/battery management, site surveys, and in-flight plan adjustments.

Original regulatory text

The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Describe the need for, and elements of, an operational structure required by a RPOC. - Describe the hazards that can occur in different geographic or topographical areas. - Demonstrate how to relate hazard identification into feasible mitigations that support effective risk management. - Describe what a CONOPS is and why it is important. - Describe terrain modeling and considerations regarding minimum and maximum AGL limits. - Demonstrate the ability to manage flight time, fuel levels and battery levels.
