My organization has a COA in place with specific locations where operations will occur. Can I choose to fly under Part 107 if missions require the drone to fly outside of the locations noted in the COA?

You can fly every mission as a civil operator under Part 107.  You can only fly some missions under your COA as a public aircraft. For daylight missions at a LAANC capable airport, Part 107 may be a better option for you. It's important to understand that if flying under Part 107, you must fully comply with Part 107 (which means a waiver to 107.29 to fly at night, for example). If flying under your COA, you must fully comply with your COA. You can't pick and choose parts of each that suit you. They are mutually exclusive legal frameworks.  The crew MUST clearly understand which rules they are flying under before they take off.

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