RegulationsQuestion 16 of 100
A remote pilot plans a legal night operation under Part 107. What equipment requirement applies to the small unmanned aircraft?
a.Position lights that are visible for at least 1 SM
b.A strobe light that flashes at least 60 times per minute
c.Landing lights bright enough to illuminate the takeoff area
d.Lighted anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 SM
Explanation
Correct answer: anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles. Section 107.29 permits night operations without a waiver if the aircraft has anti-collision lighting visible for 3 SM with a flash rate sufficient to avoid a collision, and the remote pilot has completed the updated training or test. Position lights visible for 1 SM, a specific 60-per-minute flash rate, and landing lights are not the standard.
