If your operation does not fit into basic, advanced, or level 1 complex rules (e.g., flying a heavy drone or flying BVLOS in controlled airspace), you must apply for an SFOC-RPAS.

Requirement as structured

Operations using RPA that do not fall within the scope of the basic, advanced, or level 1 complex regulations require a Special Flight Operations Certificate–RPAS.
