The "Blanket" COA has been 200'AGL for a good while. You can request another COA but it won't be blanket.
Yes you have to submit monthly reports including NO flight months. You'll have to cover these items in each report:
1. Documentation of all operations associated with UAS activities is required regardless of the airspace in which the UAS operates. NOTE: Negative (zero flight) reports are required.
2. The operator must submit the following information through
[email protected] on a monthly basis:
a. Name of Operator, Exemption number and Aircraft registration number
b. UAS type and model
c. All operating locations, to include location city/name and latitude/longitude
d. Number of flights (per location, per aircraft)
e. Total aircraft operational hours
f. Takeoff or Landing damage
g. Equipment malfunctions. Reportable malfunctions include, but are not limited to the following:
a. On-board flight control system
b. Navigation system
c. Powerplant failure in flight
d. Fuel system failure
e. Electrical system failure
f. Control station failure
3. The number and duration of lost link events (control, performance and health monitoring, or communications) per UA per flight
volito keep in mind the Section 333 Exemption doesn't exempt the "operator" from the Commercial Operations requirement which is indeed monthly reporting. This is all temporary (or at least we hope so) until true UAV/UAS guidelines are created and implemented. Until that time if you want to get pay you've got to play (by the rules LOL).
