Operations shall be conducted in accordance with authorizations, exemptions or waivers of flight regulations applicable to the operation, including but not limited to 14 CFR § 91.113, issued by the Administrator and specific to the intended operation, including geographical limitations. NOTE 5 This UA is considered a ‘Low-Risk UA’ based on its design and Concept of Operations (CONOPS); the type certificate was issued accordingly using durability and reliability testing. NOTE 6 Any change to the operating limitations must be evaluated by the FAA Aircraft Certification Service’s Certification Branch for this TC to determine whether it is a major change per § 21.93. NOTE 7 This UA has not been shown to meet the requirements of the applicable comprehensive and detailed airworthiness code as provided by Annex 8 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. NOTE 8 The FAA Flight Standards will grant operating approvals based on the CONOPS and the reliability category achieved by demonstrations conducted during the UA’s type certification testing. NOTE 9 All Associated Elements must be evaluated and receive an FAA operational approval. NOTE 10 Operations of this aircraft over human beings are prohibited unless such operations are approved by the FAA. (i.e., 14 CFR 107.140) NOTE 11 UA aircraft identified are Part 89 Remote ID compliant. RID MOC: RID–ASTM–F3586–22–NOA–22–01 FCC Identifier: XPYBMD341 The Matternet M2 Master Drawing List Block 2 Rev. 1 dated March 17, 2023, or later FAA approved revisions are applicable to Block 2 – amended TC UA.
