RegulationsQuestion 18 of 100
A remote pilot operating a Category 2 eligible aircraft wants to fly over cars moving on a public highway. Which statement is correct?
a.Sustained flight over the moving cars is allowed for up to 5 minutes
b.The aircraft may transit over the moving cars but may not maintain sustained flight over them
c.Flight over moving vehicles is prohibited for every category of operation
d.Sustained flight is allowed if the highway speed limit is 45 mph or lower
Explanation
Correct answer: the aircraft may transit over the moving vehicles but may not remain in sustained flight over them. Section 107.145 allows Category 1 and 2 aircraft to fly over moving vehicles only while transiting, unless the operation is within a closed or restricted-access site. There is no 5-minute allowance, no blanket prohibition for all categories, and posted speed limits are irrelevant.
