The resolution allows Amazon to fly at altitudes up to 122 meters during daylight hours under good meteorological conditions. Mandatory requirement - aircraft must remain within sight of the pilot and the observer. And the operator must have at least a private pilot certificate and a medical examination.
Amazon will report monthly to the Civil Aviation Agency on the number of flights, the time of each flight, and provide information on software failures, deviations from dispatchers instructions and communication losses.
