I’m not sure about this interpretation. The sentence you highlighted is applicable only when flying an UAS with an additional payload.
There are many discussions around about this topic and, for my personal safety, I prefer to consider the most restrictive interpretations.
In fact, in case of litigation with the insurance (they always try not to pay in case of accident), the judge will decide based on the content of the regulation, not the FAQ or any other information available in the net.
In the case of going to court, you are absolutely right. Only it is not mentioned only for legacy drones that the MTOM must appear somewhere, unlike the C label.
Regarding insurance, it's good that we talk about it, in all my contracts the maximum mass is indicated. It allows the insurance company to define the amount of insurable damage. It is Latvian law which imposes it, not European law.
If you decide to put drones in the trash, don't forget to tell me where you put them |
