Scope

1.1 In this practice, certification procedures are provided for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the Light UAS Class and in the Remotely Operated Aircraft (ROA) UAS Classes. Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Mini UAS and Micro UAS Classes are not considered in this practice, since they do not undergo airworthiness certification.
