B-RID Exemption for Operator Permit Holders

In plain language

If you hold a UA Operator Permit and Class 1 Activity Permit, you do not need to use B-RID unless CAAS has specifically waived your requirement to use the 'FlyItSafe' mobile app.

Requirement as structured

CAAS guidance (AC 101-2A-2(1), Appendix 5, FAQ 4) states that B-RID is not required for UA activities conducted under the scope of the UA Operator Permit and Class 1 Activity Permit; however, B-RID requirements must be complied with if the UA activity has been granted a waiver by CAAS from the usage of the CFMS 'FlyItSafe' mobile application.

Original regulatory text
