SFOC-RPAS Exemption Outside Event Perimeter

In plain language

You do not need an SFOC-RPAS if you keep your drone at least 30 meters (100 feet) away from the event boundaries, because your flight is not legally considered part of the event.

Requirement as structured

An SFOC-RPAS is not required for advertised events if the drone is operated at least 30 meters (100 feet) away from the event boundaries.

Original regulatory text

If the drone is operating at least 30 meters (100 feet) from those boundaries, the pilot would not need an SFOC-RPAS for advertised events because they would not be considered part of the event.
