Before applying for an SFOC, operators must appoint an accountable executive, identify a maintenance lead, and implement training, SOPs, and safety risk management processes, unless they hold an RPAS Operator Certificate (RPOC).

Original regulatory text

You will need to: appoint an accountable executive, identify a person who is responsible for maintenance, implement a training program, implement standard operating procedures during flight, and implement a process to manage safety risks. If you hold an RPAS Operator Certificate (RPOC), you can skip this step and provide your RPOC number when you apply.
