2025 FAA Waiver & Flying Events Ops Manual

The 2025 FAA Waiver for AAAA allows “registered” pilots to fly at lower altitudes than listed in the FARs. These minimum safe altitudes are only in effect during scheduled AAAA flying events. As part of the waiver process, AAAA is required to collect and verify certain information about the pilot and their aircraft.
COU – Crew Waiver
All crew (passengers) must sign a Certificate of Understanding, indicating that they have been briefed on and understand the conditions of the waiver. This is also an electronic process and must be done on the day of the flight. Click on the button below to access the online certificate.
