CFMS Integration in Operations Procedures

In plain language

You must update your company's Operations Procedures to detail how pilots will check trackers, use the FlyItSafe app, follow CAAS instructions, and handle broken trackers.

Requirement as structured

CAAS requires UA OP holders to update their Operations Procedures to include specific protocols for pre-flight tracker checks, active FlyItSafe app usage, compliance with CAAS instructions, and faulty tracker management.

Original regulatory text

The UA OP holder should update his or her Operations Procedures on the UA OP holder’s responsibilities regarding CFMS, and include appropriate procedures for: (a) Requiring a UA pilot to confirm the attached UA tracker is operating satisfactorily before a UA is flown under the authority of the UA OP; (b) Requiring for a UA pilot to have (i) on his or her person, a mobile device on which the FlyItSafe mobile application is installed and in active use... (c) Requiring a UA pilot flying a UA under the authority of the UA OP to follow every instruction given by the Authority through the FlyItSafe mobile application; and (d) Management of defective UA trackers, as described in Paragraph 4.3.
