Requirement as structured

This section distinguishes between a special aviation event (where a drone performs) and an advertised event (where a drone is used for photography, video, or security), and outlines the corresponding SFOC-RPAS application requirements.

Original regulatory text

A special aviation event is when the drone is performing in the event (referred to as an “airshow” or “drone show”). Organizers of special aviation events can apply for a SFOC-RPAS. If the RPAS operation is not a performance that is part of the special aviation event, i.e. the operation is conducted for taking videos or photos of the event, or for surveillance or security purposes, you must apply for an SFOC-RPAS for an advertised event .
