CBO Safety Guidelines Scope and Relevance
Verified from official sourcesAC 91-57C ¶ 3.3.2Version 1Effective -Verified 22 August 2026
In plain language
A CBO's safety guidelines might not cover every type of drone operation if the CBO itself does not engage in them (for example, turbine-powered flight).
Requirement as structured
A Community-Based Organisation's safety guidelines must be comprehensive but do not need to cover types of operations that are irrelevant to the CBO's activities.
Original regulatory text
Although the guidelines must be comprehensive, they need not discuss operations that are irrelevant to the CBO. For example, if a CBO is not engaged in a particular type of operation (e.g., FPV or turbine-powered flight), they would not be expected to develop safety guidelines related to that type of operation.
