Chapter 1: sUAS Registration

Most sUAS must be registered with the FAA prior to operating in the NAS. Owners must register
the sUAS if it is greater than 0.55 pounds, less than 55 pounds, and operated under the provisions
of 14 CFR Part 107. The owner must satisfy the registration requirements described in 14 CFR
Part 47. “Aircraft Registration,” or Part 48. “Registration and Marking Requirements for Small
Unmanned Aircraft.” The sUAS must be registered by a person who is at least 13 years of age. 14
CFR part 48 establishes the online registration option for sUAS that will be operated only within
the territorial limits of the United States.

An sUAS operation requires a Foreign Aircraft Permit if it involves a civil aircraft that is:

✓ Registered in a foreign country or
✓ Owned, controlled, or operated by someone who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

If either criteria is met, the remote PIC should obtain a Foreign Aircraft Permit pursuant to 14 CFR
375.41 before conducting any operations
Before operation, mark the sUAS to identify that it is registered with the FAA. The registration
marking must be:

✓ A unique identifier number, This is typically the FAA-issued registration number or the
serial number, if authorized during registration.
✓ Legible an durable. Sample methods include engraving permanent marker or self-adhesive
label.
✓ Visible. The unique identifier must be legibly displayed on an external surface of the sUAS

An FAA airworthiness certification is not required for sUAS. However, the remote PIC must
maintain and inspect the sUAS prior to each flight to ensure that it is a condition for safe operation.
For example, inspect the aircraft for equipment damage or malfunctions.
