the certificate holder must successfully complete recurrent training within 24 calendar-months of passing either an initial knowledge test or initial knowledge training.

A request for a certificate of waiver must contain a complete description of the proposed operation and justification that establishes that the operation can safely be conducted under the terms of a certificate of waiver.

Although not required by part 107, the FAA encourages waiver applicants to submit their application at least 90 days prior to the start of the proposed operation.

A remote pilot can accomplish these things by checking the FAA's DOC Portal at https://uasdoc.faa.gov to see if the DOC is valid and by visually inspecting the aircraft to ensure a label identifying the aircraft as Category 2 is affixed to the aircraft.

Instructions for how to verify and change the mode or configuration of the small unmanned aircraft system, if they are variable.

Modifications that will not change the ability of the small unmanned aircraft system to meet the requirements for the category or categories of operation the small unmanned aircraft system is eligible to conduct; and

Such descriptions of modifications include descriptions of the small unmanned aircraft itself as well as any payload that any person may include on the aircraft.

The FAA will maintain a website listing eligible small unmanned aircraft by make, model, series (if applicable), and category declared that are eligible for operations over people.

an applicant must submit a declaration of compliance for acceptance by the FAA, in a manner specified by the Administrator, that includes the following information:

The small unmanned aircraft serial number or range of serial numbers that are the subject of the declaration of compliance;

The accepted means of compliance the applicant used to fulfill requirements of § 107.120(a) or § 107.130(a) or both;

Serial number or range of serial numbers for the small unmanned aircraft subject to the DOC (open-ended are permitted).

To meet the requirements of § 107.120(a) for operations in Category 2, or the requirements of § 107.130(a) for operations in Category 3, the means of compliance must consist of test, analysis, or inspection.

The MOC must demonstrate through test, analysis, or inspection that the small unmanned aircraft is eligible for operations over people in Category 2, Category 3, or both.

Will not cause injury to a human being that is equivalent to or greater than the severity of the injury caused by a transfer of 25 foot-pounds of kinetic energy upon impact from a rigid object;

Will not cause injury to a human being that is equivalent to or greater than the severity of injury caused by a transfer of 11 foot-pounds of kinetic energy upon impact from a rigid object;

The FAA distinguishes between a laceration to mean a cut that goes all the way through the skin while an abrasion means a superficial injury to the skin.

Does not contain any exposed rotating parts that would lacerate human skin upon impact with a human being; and

The categories and their respective restrictions for operations over people do not change due to conditions of night.

The risk mitigation measures apply equally to day and night operations when operating over people

If the small unmanned aircraft used in an operation at night is eligible to operate in any category for operations over people listed in part 107 subpart D, then the remote pilot may operate the small unmanned aircraft over human beings at night pursuant to the requirements of §§ 107.29 and 107.39.

Have an airworthiness certificate issued under part 21 of this chapter.

Category 2 or 3 operations may only be conducted with small unmanned aircraft that fulfill performance-based safety requirements
