If my agency operates under a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA), can I fly our UAS under Part 107 using my RPIC certificate for a flight that doesn't fall within the COA parameters (e.g. a school demonstration)?

Since the operation you proposed does not meet the definition of a governmental function under Title 49 USC 40125(a)2, your only option is to fly under the Part 107 rule.

Still can't find what you are looking for? Please feel free to contact the UAS Support Center for general questions and comments.
