As I learn the exact language of weight limits, I find it interesting that for the registration exception the verbiage reads “...0.55 pounds or less (less than 250 grams). Is there some logic eg why they wouldn’t just state less than .55 pounds (249 grams or less)?
Therefore, a 250g sUAV would need to be registered even for a recreational flyer?
Then for the upper weight limit, of “less than 55 pounds,” means that a 55 pound sUAV violates the limit, and would be disallowed (or require a waiver?)
Also, my understanding is that even a 1 ounce drone, if one existed, if used commercially, would still be subject to both a registration and a part 107 certificated operator—did I get that right?
For registration numbers to be displayed for commercial use, for multiple aircraft, is the same number used? Even if so, must you add the additionally added sUavs to your list at the FAA?
