Foreword
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publishes the Remote Pilot – small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Airman Certification Standards (ACS) document to communicate a means to evaluate the aeronautical knowledge standards for certification knowledge testing for a Remote Pilot Certificate with a small UAS rating.
The FAA views the ACS as the foundation of its transition to a more integrated and systematic approach to airman certification. The ACS is part of the Safety Management System (SMS) framework that the FAA uses to mitigate risks associated with airman certification training and testing. Specifically, the ACS, associated guidance, and test question components of the airman certification system are constructed around the four functional components of an SMS:
• Safety Policy that defines and describes aeronautical knowledge, risk management, and flight proficiency as integrated components of the airman certification system;
• Safety Risk Management processes through which both internal and external stakeholders identify changes in regulations, safety recommendations, or other factors. These changes are then evaluated to
