• A UA weighing less than or equal to 250 g and having a maximum speed less than or equal to 25 m/s is considered to have an iGRC of 1 regardless of population density.

• A UA expected to not penetrate a standard dwelling will get a -1 GRC reduction from the M1(A) sheltering mitigation when not overflying large open assemblies of people, see Annex B for additional details.
