RegulationsQuestion 15 of 100
A survey company wants one certificated remote pilot to launch three identical mapping drones and run them simultaneously from a single tablet. Is this permitted under Part 107?
a.Yes, as long as a visual observer watches each aircraft
b.Yes, provided all three aircraft stay below 200 ft AGL
c.No, a person may not operate or act as RPIC for more than one aircraft at a time
d.No, unless each aircraft weighs less than 2 lbs including payload
Explanation
Correct answer: no, because §107.35 prohibits a person from operating or acting as remote pilot in command for more than one small unmanned aircraft at the same time. Adding visual observers or lowering the altitude does not change this, and there is no small-aircraft weight exception. Swarm or multi-aircraft operations require a waiver.
