FAA Order 8130.34D — UAS Operating Limitation A-19

Appendix A · p. A-4

The UA is prohibited from aerobatic flight, that is, an intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change in the UA’s attitude, an abnormal acceleration, or other flight action not necessary for normal flight.

Order notes

If aerobatic flight is anticipated, the maneuvers, configuration of external stores, initial aerobatic test flight, and subsequent performance locations must be thoroughly discussed during the safety evaluation. If approved, these items must be appropriately described in this operating limitation or in the FAA Form 7711-1.

AWCReady decides limitation A-19 for you — from the aircraft, the operation, and the 8130.34D risk index.

Not every sample limitation goes on every UAS or OPA. AWCReady scores the risk, gates each limitation to the operation and certification basis, asks only the questions that matter in plain language, and assembles a review-ready package.
