Just received this from uashelp@faa.gov...this only applies to Part 107:
Per AC-107-2 (This advisory circular (AC) provides guidance for conducting sUAS operations in the NAS in accordance with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 107) 5.10 Operating Limitations for Small UA. The small UA must be operated in accordance with the following limitations: · Cannot be flown faster than a groundspeed of 87 knots (100 miles per hour); · Cannot be flown higher than 400 feet above ground level (AGL), unless flown within a 400-foot radius of a structure and does not fly higher than 400 feet above the structure’s immediate uppermost limit; · Minimum visibility, as observed from the location of the CS, may not be less than 3 statute miles (sm); and
· Minimum distance from clouds being no less than 500 feet below a cloud and no less than 2000 feet horizontally from the cloud. Note: These operating limitations are intended, among other things, to support the remote pilot’s ability to identify hazardous conditions relating to encroaching aircraft or persons on the ground, and to take the appropriate actions to maintain safety.
