CBO INFO: "...The Aircraft is Operated in Accordance With or Within the Programming of a CBO’s Set of Safety Guidelines That are Developed in Coordination With the FAA. Once the FAA has developed the criteria for recognition of CBOs and started officially recognizing CBOs, those CBOs’ safety guidelines will be available for use. During this interim period, the FAA offers two means to satisfy this statutory condition. Recreational flyers should be able to explain to an FAA inspector or law enforcement official which safety guidelines they are following..." **** Technically you DO NOT need PRINTED CBO documents with you, you only need to be able to state what CBO guidelines you're following (in addition to the FAA rules for recreational pilots). My experience is that it doesn't hurt to have it along though, as when the police are my face my memory isn't as sharp as it should be... 😉 For the moment, the easiest is to use the existing rules from the FAA for recreational pilots (or the AMA rules, see the links below) as a 'proxy' for the CBO Guidelines. You need to be able to state that's what you're doing though, "...Yes Officer, I can tell you what CBO rules I'm following, but at the moment I am substituting these guidelines instead of using the CBO guidelines as allowed by the FAA as stated in AC 91-57B in this interim, and the rules are...(state the current recreational pilot rules or the AMA rules)". Keep in mind though when the FAA recognizes actual CBOs you'll need to pick one and be able to discuss and follow those rules. This is probably coming soon, before the end of the year is my guess. I did add links below to make it clearer as I think the FAA made it a bit more confusing than it needs to be with the AC 91-57B circular. * FAA CBOs: https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreationalfliers/faa-recognized-community-based-organizations REFERENCE USC 44809 Recreational Rules: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title49-section44809&num=0&edition=prelim Don't forget to LIKE and COMMENT if you found this of use!
