Each category is presumed to be subject to the restrictions of proposed part 107 (other than the
restriction related to flight over people), including but not limited to altitude and time of operations
restrictions.
Under Category 1, a small UAS may operate over people if the weight (including
accessories/payload, e.g., cameras) is 250 grams or less. Based on the data the ARC received, the
ARC believes that the level of risk of injury posed by this category of UAS is so low that no
performance standards and no operational restrictions beyond those imposed by the proposed part
107 are necessary. To demonstrate that a small UAS qualifies for Category 1 operations over people,
the manufacturer of the UAS must either: (1) label the product retail packaging of the small UAS
with the actual weight of the aircraft or a general statement that the aircraft weighs 250 grams or
less; or (2)
