Rules & compliance
Q. Do I need a FAA certificate to fly drones in United States?
A. For commercial operations under the 14 CFR Part 107 — Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) requires the appropriate pilot credential. Hobby flight thresholds differ — see Registration Threshold below. MmowW guides you through every credential workflow specific to your category.
Q. What is the registration threshold in United States?
A. 0.55 lb (250g). MmowW reminds you 30 days before any deadline and stores your registration number with one-tap retrieval at audit time.
Q. What is the maximum penalty for non-compliance?
A. Up to $27,500 civil penalty / $250,000 criminal fine, plus possible criminal liability under 14 CFR Part 107 — Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. MmowW prevents accidental non-compliance with daily rule monitoring and pre-flight checklist enforcement.
Q. Does MmowW support BVLOS / Specific Category operations?
A. Yes. We support the Part 107 Waiver (§107.200) — proposed Part 108 rulemaking ongoing workflow — including documentation packs, risk assessment templates, and submission preparation for FAA review.
Q. Is insurance required?
A. Not federally mandated; recommended for commercial Part 107 operations. MmowW can attach proof of insurance to every flight log automatically, satisfying audit requirements end-to-end.
Q. How many features does MmowW include?
A. 30 features grouped into 5 compliance flows: Pilot Registration, Aircraft Registration, Flight Applications, Flight Logbook, and Incident Reporting. See the full catalogue on the United States drone page.
Q. Can MmowW generate flight logs that satisfy FAA audits?
A. Yes. Every entry is timestamped, geotagged, and exportable to PDF / CSV / JSON. Logs are retained 3 years (FAA Remote ID records) per FAA guidance — audit-ready by design.
Q. I noticed a regulatory error in MmowW. How do I report it?
A. Email info@mmoww.net or use https://mmoww.net/us/feedback/. Regulatory errors are P0 — we acknowledge within 24 hours and ship a fix the same day if FAA guidance is unambiguous.
Q. Is MmowW affiliated with FAA?
A. No. MmowW is independent compliance software. We watch and translate FAA rules into a usable workflow, but we are not endorsed, certified, or affiliated with any aviation authority. Always verify with FAA for the most current requirements.
Q. How fast does MmowW reflect a regulatory update from FAA?
A. Same day. Our compliance watch monitors FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) bulletins, regulatory amendments, and 14 CFR Part 107 — Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems revisions every morning at 06:00 local time. When a change touches a flow you depend on, the SaaS UI is patched within hours and a member-wide notification is sent. The 3 years (FAA Remote ID records) retention envelope is also re-validated automatically so historic logs remain audit-clean under the new rule.
Q. Do you publish a public changelog of regulatory updates?
A. Yes. The /us/blog/ feed publishes every FAA update as a plain-language brief, cited to the original FAA bulletin URL. Members also receive an in-app diff view: what changed, why it matters, what action is required from you, and by when.
Q. How do you keep up with Part 107 Waiver (§107.200) — proposed Part 108 rulemaking ongoing amendments?
A. We watch the FAA BVLOS docket directly and mirror EU/global precedent (EASA SORA, FAA Part 108) when relevant. Whenever the Part 107 Waiver (§107.200) — proposed Part 108 rulemaking ongoing workflow updates, your existing risk-assessment templates are versioned and the prior submission package stays archived for audit replay.
Q. How do you handle conflicting guidance between FAA and local councils?
A. FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is the federal authority of record; local councils may layer additional restrictions (national parks, urban districts, harbor zones). MmowW shows both layers in the pre-flight checklist and refuses to mark a flight as 'cleared' until the strictest applicable rule is satisfied.
Pricing & plans
Q. How much does MmowW cost in United States?
A. $19.99 / month — one clear, honest price.
Q. Is there a setup fee or annual contract?
A. No setup fee. No annual lock-in. Cancel any month with one click. Cancel anytime — no lock-in, no questions.
Q. Are there hidden tiers or per-feature upsells?
A. No. Every member gets every feature — 30 features across 5 compliance flows. No 'pro' tier. No per-seat pricing. One price, per drone, forever.
Q. Do you offer discounts for multiple drones?
A. Pricing scales linearly per drone, but our portal layer rewards 3+ drone operators with priority placement. We are deliberately not adding fleet discounts because parity-pricing is our promise.
Product, support & trust
Q. What languages does MmowW support?
A. 10 country interfaces — English (UK/US/AU/NZ/CA), German (DE), French (FR), Dutch (NL), Swedish (SE), and 日本語 (JP). We add languages as we add countries.
Q. Does MmowW work offline / in remote areas?
A. Yes. Pilot Logbook captures entries offline and syncs when reconnected. Pre-flight checklists run in airplane-mode.
Q. Can MmowW connect with my drone's flight controller?
A. We export to standard log formats (CSV/JSON) ingestible by DJI Aircraft Logbook, Pix4D, and most third-party platforms. Direct API integration is on the 2026 roadmap.
Q. I can't log in. What should I do?
A. Try password reset from https://mmoww.net/us/app/. If the issue persists, email info@mmoww.net with your registered email — we reply within 1 business day.
Q. My flight log won't save. What now?
A. Check that location permissions are enabled (we need GPS for FAA-grade timestamps). If the problem continues, the log is held in offline queue and will sync automatically once connectivity returns.
Q. How do I cancel my subscription?
A. One click in your dashboard, anytime. No phone call, no form, no awkward conversation. Strong, kind, beautiful — even at goodbye.
Q. Can I export all my data before leaving?
A. Yes. Settings → Export → choose PDF/CSV/JSON. We honor the right to leave; your data is yours.
Q. Who runs MmowW?
A. Sawai Gyoseishoshi Office — a licensed Japanese legal-compliance firm operating since 1872 (Gyoseishoshi profession founding). Director Takayuki Sawai (No. 25346443) heads the firm; Vice-officer Poppo (autonomous AI) handles 24/7 operations.
Q. What if FAA guidance changes mid-flight?
A. Your active flight stays valid under the rule that was in force at takeoff. MmowW timestamps every entry against the 14 CFR Part 107 — Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems version active at submission, so retroactive enforcement risk is zero. The next pre-flight checklist will surface the new guidance with a side-by-side diff — strong, kind, beautiful.
