Definitions

Part 1—Definitions


Model Aircraft - means an aircraft that is used for sport or recreation, and cannot carry a person.

Small UAV—see regulation 101.240.

UAV—see regulation 101.240.
Subpart 101.F—UAVs

Division 101.F.1—General

101.235 Applicability of this Subpart


(1) This Subpart applies to:
(a) the operation of a large UAV; and
(b) the operation of a small UAV for purposes other than sport or recreation.

Note 1: There is no practicable distinction between a small UAV and a model aircraft except that of use—model aircraft are flown only for the sport of flying them. (As soon as you add a camera you aren't "ONLY" using it for the sport of flying them therefore you don't fall under the CASA definition (see above) of a "Model Aircraft" which by their definition is used for "Sport or Recreation").
Note 2: For large UAV and small UAV, see regulation 101.240. For model aircraft see the Dictionary.

(2) Nothing in this Subpart applies to the operation of a UAV if:
(a) while it is being operated, the person operating it keeps it in sight; and
(b) it is operated in a way that complies with Subpart 101.G.

(3) This Subpart does not apply to the operation of a micro UAV.

Note 1: See subregulation 101.005 (3).
Note 2: For micro UAV, see regulation 101.240.
By CASA's own definitions most UAV aren't being used only for the sport of flying them therefore subpart 101.F UAV's most definitely applies.
