RegulationsQuestion 24 of 100
A courier asks a remote pilot to deliver a small can of paint thinner across a construction site by drone. What does Part 107 require?
a.The flight is prohibited, because a small unmanned aircraft may not carry hazardous material
b.The flight is allowed if the container weighs less than 2 lbs
c.The flight is allowed if the drone remains below 100 ft AGL
d.The flight is allowed if the pilot carries the shipping papers at the control station
Explanation
Correct answer: the flight is prohibited. Section 107.36 states that a small unmanned aircraft may not carry hazardous material, and flammable solvents such as paint thinner fall in that category. Weight of the container, low altitude, and paperwork at the control station do not create an exception to the prohibition.
