Instructions for Completing the 40102(a)/40125 Certificate of Authorization (COA) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Monthly Operational Flight Report
Public Burden Statement
A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for this information collection is 21XX-XXXX. Public reporting for this collection of information is estimated to be approximately 60 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
All responses to this collection of information are required to obtain or retain a benefit (49 U.S.C. § 106(l) and (m)). Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.
The information on this tab provides general information about this workbook and the definitions for the mission types and flight types. Guidance regarding individual questions in the report is provided in the user guide and via tooltips within the form. The tooltips will appear when the answer field in the form is selected.
Complete and submit the monthly operational flight report by the seventh day of each month for the previous month's flights.
The COA report is for respondents operating under a 40102(a) or 40125 COA. Participants operating under these COAs are required to submit a monthly report to the COA Application Processing System (CAPS) or via e-mail to the Safety Management and Future Systems Branch (AJV-P22). The respondent has two options:
1. Submit the COA Detailed Flight Report form for all flights that occur during the month and the DAA Details form for flights that utilize DAA technology. Upon submission of these forms, the UAS Integration Office generates the output report to submit to AJV-P22 via e-mail.
2. Use CAPS to complete the monthly COA reporting requirement. Complete and submit to the UAS Integration Office the COA Partial Flight Report form for all flights that occur during the month and the DAA Details form for flights that utilize DAA technology.
Mission Type: Select the category that best represents the purpose of the mission/flight.
Definitions: Aeronautical Research: The purpose of the flight is to research UAS and/or their components.

Agricultural Delivery/Application: The purpose of the flight is to apply fertilizer, pesticide, or other agricultural products to crops, to deliver bait to traps to capture animals that are destroying crops or preying on livestock, or to transport and/or apply other materials in support of agricultural programs.

Agricultural Operation: The purpose of the flight is to monitor the health of crops or livestock, or conduct other flights in support of agricultural programs that do not involve transporting cargo.

Environmental Survey: The purpose of the flight is to monitor the climate, soil, and/or living things by measuring atmospheric conditions, charting changes in soil conditions over time, counting wildlife, etc.

Infrastructure Inspection (Linear): The purpose of the flight is to inspect man-made constructions that extend in a nearly straight line. Examples include inspections of roads, power lines, railway lines, canals, pipelines, and fences.

Infrastructure Inspection (Non-Linear): The purpose of the flight is to inspect man-made constructions that do not extend in a nearly straight line. Examples include buildings and aircraft.

Package Delivery: The purpose of the flight is to transport packages from one location to another.

Public Safety: The purpose of the flight is for law enforcement, fire, or emergency medical services departments/agencies to protect the welfare of the general public.
Flight Type: Select the purpose of the flight: operational, performance check, or training.
Definitions: Operational: The purpose of the flight is to complete a routine business function.

Functional Check: The purpose of the flight is to check the performance of the UAS as part of an inspection process.

Training: The purpose of the flight is to increase the proficiency of the pilot and/or other crewmembers in flying the UAS.
