Airspace & ChartsQuestion 42 of 100
A remote pilot needs to fly inside Class D airspace tomorrow morning and wants the fastest lawful way to obtain approval. Which statement best describes the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC)?
a.It provides near real-time automated ATC authorization up to the UAS Facility Map grid ceilings
b.It files an instrument flight plan with ATC on behalf of the remote pilot in command
c.It grants an automatic waiver of the visual line of sight requirement found in §107.31
d.It publishes temporary flight restrictions and national security notices to remote pilots
Explanation
LAANC is an automated system reached through FAA-approved UAS service suppliers that issues ATC authorization for controlled airspace within seconds when the request is at or below the published UAS Facility Map grid ceiling. It does not file flight plans, because Part 107 flights are conducted under visual rules and need none. Waivers of operating rules such as §107.31 come only from the FAA through the waiver process, and TFRs are distributed through the NOTAM system.
