SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES

Background The FAA published Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 107, subpart D
permitting the routine operation of small UAS at night or over people under certain conditions. Subpart D also provides aircraft eligibility and operating requirements for categories of operations over people. When promulgated, this rule was the next step in the FAAs incremental approach to integrating UAS into the national airspace system, based on demands for increased operational flexibility and the experience the FAA has gained since it initially published part 107.
To satisfy the eligibility requirements of part 107, subpart D, a small unmanned aircraft must meet the performance-based safety requirements of 107.120a for operations in Category 2 or the performance-based safety requirements of 107.130a for operations in Category 3 or both by following an FAA-accepted MOC. An FAA-accepted MOC addresses the minimum testing, inspection, or analysis necessary to demonstrate compliance with the safety requirements.
An acceptable MOC must consist of test, analysis, or inspection. It must address the injury severity limits, the exposed rotating parts prohibition, and verification that there are no safety defects. The FAA must accept a MOC
before an applicant can rely on it to declare compliance with part 107, subpart D requirements. In addition, the FAA indicates acceptance of a MOC by publishing a Notice of Availability in the Federal Register identifying the

MOC as accepted and by informing the applicant of its acceptance.1
Means of Compliance Accepted in This Policy VT MAAP published the Operation of Small UAS Over People MOC Version 1.0 on October 20, 2021. The FAA has acknowledged VT MAAPs performance-based MOC as an acceptable MOC to the requirements of 107.120a for operations in Category 2, or the requirements of 107.130a for operations in Category 3.
To utilize this MOC, an applicant should provide the VT MAAP Federal Aviation Administration designated UAS Test Site with data on the small unmanned aircraft. VT MAAP Test Site utilizes this information to conduct a safety defect and failure assessment.
This assessment will determine the required testing to assess the small unmanned aircrafts impact injury severity and laceration potential. The VT MAAP Test Site will conduct the necessary testing and document the results. Lastly, VT MAAP conducts a final safety and compliance review to determine the small unmanned aircraft compliance with 107.120a or 107.130a as applicable. VT MAAP
provides the results of this process to the applicant for inclusion in a Declaration of Compliance.
Availability This notice serves as a formal acceptance by the Federal Aviation Administrator of the Virginia Tech MidAtlantic Aviation Partnerships Means of Compliance Version 1.0.
Issued in Washington, DC, on December 10, 2021.
