Original regulatory text

Part I – General provisions 101 – Interpretation (definitions) The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Define remotely piloted aircraft. - Define remotely piloted aircraft system. - Define command and control link. - Define control station. 103 – Administration and compliance The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - State who may demand to inspect aviation documents. - State that computer-stored records may be used in place of paper records if measures are taken to protect them. Part VI – General operating and flight rules 601 – Airspace Airspace structure, classification, and use The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Identify the altimeter setting region and the standard pressure region. - Recall that operations in class F special use restricted airspace may require special awareness or the permission of the airspace user agency and where to find that information. Part IX – Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems Subpart 1 – Small Remotely Piloted Aircraft and Medium Remotely Piloted Aircraft Division I – General provisions The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Define terms used in RPA operations, including: small remotely piloted aircraft, medium remotely piloted aircraft, command and control link, payload, visual observer, mandatory action, BVLOS operation, contingency procedures, contingency volume, flight geography, ground risk buffer, operational volume, operating weight, populated area, sparsely populated area, RPAS operator, RPAS operator certificate Division II – General Operating and Flight Rules for All RPAS The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Recall the restrictions to operations in the vicinity of forest fire areas/police/safety agency site. - Describe the circumstances when an RPA is permitted to be operated in the vicinity of a forest fire/police/safety agency site. - Recall the prohibitions surrounding commercial air service. Division VI – Level 1 Complex Operations The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Define how Division VI Part IX applies to different level 1 complex operations. - Recall the rules regarding the use of visual observers in level 1 complex operations. - State what aeronautical information must be consulted before flight. - State which procedures must be established for normal and emergency operations for all small or medium RPA in level 1 complex operations. - State the minimum distance that a small or medium RPA must remain from a person in level 1 complex operations. - State the minimum visibility required for the operation of a small or medium RPA in level 1 complex operations. - State the minimum ceiling required for the operation of a small or medium RPA in level 1 complex operations. - State the minimum distance that a small or medium RPA must remain from an airport, aerodrome and heliport when conducting a level 1 complex operation. - Describe the factors that must be included in a site survey for the operation of all small or medium RPA in level 1 complex operations. - State minimum RPA pilot requirements for a Level 1 Complex Pilot Certificate - State recency requirements related to a Level 1 Complex Pilot Certificate. - State when a RPAS Operating Certificate is required. - Describe when the RPAS requires a declaration under DIV VI. - Describe when Standard 923 can be used in lieu of a declared DAA system. - Describe permitted modifications to RPAS used for DIV VI operations. - Explain how the level 1 complex operations are divided by RPA operating weight, population density and in BVLOS complexity. - Explain how all operations under this Division must be conducted with a system for which a declaration has been made regarding the technical requirements applicable to the oper
