aircraft: a device that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air. first-person view (FPV): a mode ofUAS operation in which the remote pilot in command (RPIC) monitors the unmanned aircraft vehicle (UAV) position through a camera installed on the UAV. impact tolerance: a UAV design characteristic that allows any part of the UAV structure to be impacted during planned normal flight operations and not adversely affect the UAV’s capability to continue flight operations (see Figure 32-0.2-1). inertialmeasurementunit(IMU): an electronic device that measures and reports the specific force, angular rate, and, sometimes,orientationofthebody,usingacombinationof accelerometers and gyroscopes. liftdirector:apersonthatdirectlyoversees theworkbeing performed by equipmentand personnel covered by other volumes of the ASME B30 Standard and is the person responsible for all non-UAS equipment operations. load-handling operation: the activities thatsupportequip- mentcoveredbyothervolumes intheASME B30 Standard in the performance of their operations. low-altitude authorization and notification capability (LAANC): the collaboration between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the public that directly supports UAS integration into the airspace by providing UAV pilots with access to controlled airspace at or below 400 ft (122 m) and the awareness ofwhere UAVs can and cannot fly and provides air traffic professionals with visi- bility into where and when UAVs are operating. normalflightoperation: the flightofa UAVthatis properly performingwithintheUAS manufacturer’s flightguidance that addresses environment and performance.payload: any weight lifted by a UAV that is attached to the UAV at locations authorized by the UAV manufacturer, does not violate the UAV manufacturer’s established weight and balance limits, and uses attachment means provided or authorized for use by the UAV manufacturer or a qualified person. qualified person: a person who, by possession of a recog- nized degree in an applicable field or certificate ofprofes- sional standing, orwho, byextensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve orresolve problems relatingto the subjectmatter and workand has the requisite information and skills nec- essaryto evaluate the suitabilityofa device, a component, or information for use with a UAS. remote pilot in command (RPIC): a competent and appro- priatelylicensedpersonwiththecombinationofskills and knowledge required to perform the tasks defined in this Volume who is responsible for all aspects of the UAS operation. shall: a word indicating a requirement. should: a word indicating a recommendation. site owner: a person with the authority to speak for the entitycontrollingthe site overwhichflightoperations will take place. support personnel: the person or persons designated to assist in the preparation and/or accomplishment of a UAS flight operation and operation of equipment covered by other volumes of the ASME B30 Standard. testing:theoperations thatprovide informationregarding an operational characteristic. UASmanufacturer: the entitythatintegrates the UAVwith its control systems and accessories. UAS operator: a competent person who is appropriately licensed and directly inputs the commands that manipu- late the movement of a UAV. UAVmanufacturer: the entity that manufactures the UAV. unmanned aircraft system (UAS): a system consisting ofa powered unmanned aerial vehicle and equipment, appa- ratus, appurtenance, software, and accessories that are operated, or designed to be operated.
