Which operations-over-people category requires an FAA airworthiness certificate?

Category 4.

  1. Category 4 ✔
  2. Category 3
  3. Category 2

Why: Category 4 drones must have an airworthiness certificate issued under Part 21. They must also be maintained to set standards with records kept.

Huh, didn't know that: Category 4 drones may fly over people in moving vehicles if their flight manual does not prohibit it.

Why was the Category 4 drone so confident? It had the paperwork to prove it was worthy.
