Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA)
Applies only to public operators (government entities and organizations). Permits
nationwide flights in Class G airspace at or below 400 feet, self-certification of the Small
Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) pilot, and the option to obtain emergency COAs (e-
COAs) under special circumstances.
Chart Supplement U.S. (formerly Airport/Facility Directory).

on airports, heliports, and seaplane bases that are open to the public. Published across
seven books, and the information in each of these books is updated every couple of
months.

operating to or from an airport without an operating control tower.
Control Station (CS)
An interface used by the remote pilot in command or the person manipulating the
controls to control the flight path of the Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS). (In
basic terms, this is your remote control.)
Corrective Lenses
Spectacles or contact lenses.
Crew Resource Management (CRM).
Art and science of managing all the resources that are available to the Remote Pilot in
Command (PIC) prior and during flight, including resources both on board the aircraft
and from outside sources.
Error Chain.
When a series of judgmental errors leads to a human factors-related accident
FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement for Sport Pilot, Recreational Pilot, and
Private Pilot (FAA-CT-8080-2G).
Book of figures and charts that is issued during the FAA Aeronautical Knowledge Test
at the computer testing centers and referenced in certain test questions.
FAA Regional Operations Center (ROC).
Network of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Command Control Communication
Centers.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
National aviation authority of the United States, with powers to regulate all aspects of
civil aviation.
,Flight Services Station (FSS)
Air traffic facility that provides information and services to aircraft pilots before, during,
and after flights. Unlike Air Traffic Control (ATC), FSS is not responsible for giving
instructions or clearances or providing separation, but they do relay ATC clearances.
Flight Standards District Office (FSDO)
Locally affiliated field office of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).
When operation of an aircraft under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) is not safe or legal
because the visual cues outside the aircraft are obscured by weather or darkness,
instrument flight rules must be used instead.
Mean Sea Level (MSL).
True altitude, or the average height above standard sea level where the atmospheric
pressure is measured in order to calibrate altitude. Related term: Above Ground Level
(AGL)
Model Aircraft.
An Unmanned Aircraft (UA) that is capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere; flown
within visual line-of-sight (VLOS) of the person operating the aircraft; and flown for
hobby or recreational purposes.
MULTICOM.
Frequency allocation used as a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) by aircraft
near airports where no air traffic control is available. In the United States, the frequency
is 122.9 MHz. At uncontrolled airports without a UNICOM, pilots are to self-announce on
the MULTICOM frequency.
National Airspace System (NAS)
Reaches from the surface to 60,000 feet within the continental United States and its
territories.
Notice to Airmen (NOTAM).
Issued when there's aeronautical information that could affect a pilot's decision to make
a flight. It includes such information as airport or aerodrome primary runway closures,
taxiways, ramps, obstructions, communications, airspace, and changes in the status of
navigational aids, to name a few. Time-critical and either of a temporary nature or not
sufficiently known in advance to permit publication on aeronautical charts or in other
