The Advisory Circular (AC) 00-1.1B issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration provides guidance on determining whether government-owned or contracted manned and unmanned aircraft operations in the U.S. qualify as public aircraft operations (PAO) under federal law. It outlines the statutory definitions, responsibilities of government entities and civil operators, and the limited FAA oversight applicable to PAOs. The document emphasizes that PAO status is not automatic and must be evaluated on a flight-by-flight basis, detailing the necessary declarations and compliance requirements for both government entities and contracted civil operators.

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Do you need a special license to fly an experimental aircraft?

Yes. Pilots of amateur-built/homebuilt aircraft must earn and maintain the same federal pilot training and ratings as those who fly factory-built aircraft such as Cessnas, Pipers, and Beechcrafts. They also must follow all appropriate federal regulations during each of their flights.

What is the compensation for experimental aircraft?

The only compensation that may be provided for use of the aircraft is the expenses for owning, operating, and maintaining the aircraft. Compensation for profit is prohibited.

What does unmanned aircraft mean and aircraft operated?

Unmanned aircraft means an aircraft operated without the possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the aircraft.

Can I do my own maintenance on an experimental aircraft?

Anyone can do maintenance on an Experimental Amateur Built aircraft, the only thing the original builder gets is the repairmans certificate which allows them to sign off the annual condition inspection. Anyone other than the original builder will need to use an AP for that.

What is the difference between public and civil aircraft?

Civil aircraft means an aircraft other than a public aircraft or state aircraft . Public aircraft means an aircraft that meets the definition in 49 U.S.C. 40102(a)(41) and the qualifications in 49 U.S.C. 40125.

What is the 51 rule for experimental aircraft?

To be eligible for an amateur-built certificate, the major portion (at least 51 percent) of the tasks needed to make the aircraft airworthy must be completed by amateurs solely for their own education or recreation. So you may hire someone to finish the wings on your kit if you still have 51 percent or more of the

What does the FAA consider compensation?

8.1 Explanation of Compensation. Compensation is the receipt of anything of value that is contingent on the pilot operating the aircraft; i.e., but for the receipt of the compensation, the pilot would not have taken that flight. Compensation does not require a profit, profit motive, or the actual payment of funds.

What is unmanned aircraft vs manned aircraft?

A manned aircraft can be used in contested environments where command-and-control is limited, autonomy is required, or policy restrictions exist. An unmanned aircraft has no aircrew to limit its range and endurance or has the risk of loss of life or the fear of being captured.
