Before conducting a Category 2 operation over people, what is the remote pilot's responsibility regarding the Declaration of Compliance (DOC), according to AC 107-2A?

Why: AC 107-2A states: "It is the remote pilot's responsibility to ensure that the small unmanned aircraft is listed on an FAA-accepted DOC as eligible for Category 2 operations and labeled as eligible to conduct Category 2 operations. A remote pilot can accomplish these things by checking online at https://uasdoc.faa.gov ... and by visually inspecting the aircraft" for the matching label.

• The DOC is submitted once by the applicant/manufacturer for an aircraft design to an FAA-accepted means of compliance, not resubmitted by the remote pilot before each flight.
• AC 107-2A directs the remote pilot to check the FAA's online database directly, not to accept a manufacturer's verbal claim of eligibility in place of that verification.
