GM2 UAS.OPEN.060(2)(d) Responsibilities of the Remote Pilot    

CAA ORS9 Decision No. 16

FREE-FLIGHT UA

‘Free flight’ means performing flights with no external control, taking advantage of the ascending currents, dynamic winds and the performance of the model. Outdoor free flights are carried out with gliders or with models equipped with means of propulsion (e.g. rubber-bands or thermal engines) that raise them in altitude, before they freely glide and follow the air masses.

For the purpose of free-flight UA, the person who launches the UA is the RP, and must comply with the responsibilities of the RP.
