Under which part of the FAA regulations are UAS operations specifically addressed?

UAS operations are specifically addressed under Part 107 of the FAA regulations. This part sets forth the rules for the commercial use of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and outlines the requirements for operators, such as certification, operational limits, and safety criteria. Part 107 is aimed at ensuring a safe and efficient integration of UAS into the national airspace system, providing clear guidelines for operators to follow while conducting commercial activities.

Part 91 generally covers general operating and flight rules for all aircraft, including manned operations, but it does not specifically address the unique requirements and regulations associated with UAS. On the other hand, Parts 121 and 135 pertain to the operation of larger commercial aircraft and air carriers, focusing on passenger and cargo operations, not UAS. Thus, Part 107 is the relevant regulation for UAS operations, detailing how they are to be conducted in compliance with safety standards and operational procedures set by the FAA.
