Knowledge Requirements for Surface Based Layers

In plain language

You must understand how visibility-reducing layers like fog, haze, or smoke affect your flight, how they clear up, and how low clouds might force traditional manned aircraft to fly lower, potentially conflicting with your RPA.

Requirement as structured

The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to explain the impact of surface-based layers on operations, identify dissipation elements, and explain how low-level clouds affect legacy aircraft.

Original regulatory text

The RPA pilot operating within level 1 complex operations must be able to: - Explain how fog, haze, smoke, or other particulates may impact RPA operations. - Identify the elements that can dissipate these surface-based layers. - Explain how low level cloud can affect legacy aircraft traffic.
