Relabeling of Category 2 or 3 Small Unmanned Aircraft by RPIC

In plain language

Before flying a Category 2 or Category 3 drone over people, if the original category label is damaged, destroyed, or missing, you must apply a new label. This replacement label must be in English, clearly visible (legible and prominent), secure enough to stay on during the flight, and correctly state the category (Category 2 and/or 3) the drone is qualified for.

Requirement as structured

If a Category 2 or Category 3 label affixed to a small unmanned aircraft is damaged, destroyed, or missing, the remote pilot in command must label the aircraft in English with a legible, prominent label that correctly identifies its qualified categories and remains attached for the duration of the operation before flying over human beings.
