What electronic document might a remote pilot need to legally display when operating a UAS?

A remote pilot operating a UAS is required to display the Certificate of Registration when conducting operations. This document serves as proof that the drone has been registered with the FAA, which is a legal requirement for all UAS that weigh more than 0.55 pounds (250 grams). Carrying and being able to present the registration certificate ensures compliance with FAA regulations, demonstrating that the pilot is operating a legally recognized drone.

While the Pilot's License is essential for commercial operations, it is not typically required to be physically displayed during flight. The Flight Plan, while a crucial aspect of operational safety and planning, does not need to be displayed to anyone and is usually kept for internal use by the pilot or team. The Insurance Policy is important for liability coverage but is also not required to be displayed during operations. Thus, the Certificate of Registration is the correct document that must be shown to demonstrate compliance with federal regulations regarding UAS operations.
