2. UAS Operations and Air Traffic Control (ATC)
NOTE
−
Small UAS operators should not contact ATC directly by radio or telephone for purposes of airspace access. Also, the
use of an aviation radio frequency by the RPIC of a sUAS may constitute a violation of Federal Communications
Commission rules. Remote pilots of larger UAS—which are usually under positive control by ATC and flying under
Instrument Flight Rules—are an exception to this guideline.
Small UAS operators are encouraged to monitor local CTAF radio traffic when operating on or near an airport, for
situational awareness.
