  2. BThe foreign Certificate of Aircraft Registration and the airworthiness certificate

Show the answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. The Confirmation of Identification issued by the FAA

  • A — correct § 89.130(c) requires the operator of a foreign registered civil unmanned aircraft with remote identification to obtain a Confirmation of Identification, maintain it at the control station, and produce it when requested by the FAA or a law enforcement officer.
  • B — incorrect Part 89 does not name the foreign registration or airworthiness certificate as proof of notification; the document that § 89.130(c) requires the operator to produce is the Confirmation of Identification.
  • C — incorrect A foreign pilot certificate is not the proof of notification described in § 89.130; the required document is the FAA-issued Confirmation of Identification.

BACKGROUND

Section 89.130 sets out the confirmation of identification process for foreign registered civil unmanned aircraft with remote identification operated in the United States. Before the operation, the person must submit a notice of identification that includes the operator's name, physical address, telephone number and email address, the aircraft manufacturer and model, the serial number of the aircraft or remote identification broadcast module, the country of registration, and the registration number. When the notification is complete, the FAA issues a Confirmation of Identification. Under § 89.130(c), the operator must maintain the Confirmation of Identification at the control station and produce it when requested by the FAA or a law enforcement officer. The filing and the confirmation do not have the effect of United States aircraft registration.

STUDY TIP

Link the three verbs in § 89.130(c): obtain the Confirmation of Identification, maintain it at the control station, and produce it on request from the FAA or law enforcement.

KEY POINTS

  • A foreign registered civil unmanned aircraft with remote identification needs a notice of identification filed before operating in the United States.
  • The FAA issues a Confirmation of Identification once the notification requirements are complete.
  • The Confirmation of Identification must be kept at the control station and shown to the FAA or a law enforcement officer on request.
