Airspace & ChartsQuestion 50 of 100
A remote pilot is inspecting a roof about half a mile from the end of the only runway at a non-towered airport in Class G airspace, and light aircraft are actively flying the traffic pattern. What does Part 107 require in this situation?
a.Nothing further, provided the small UAS remains below 400 ft AGL at all times
b.A position report broadcast on the CTAF at least once every two minutes during the flight
c.A NOTAM filed with the FAA at least 24 hours before the inspection begins
d.That the operation not interfere with operations and traffic patterns at the airport
Explanation
Section 107.43 prohibits operating a small UAS in a manner that interferes with operations and traffic patterns at any airport, heliport, or seaplane base, and that duty applies even in Class G airspace where no authorization is needed. Remaining below 400 ft AGL satisfies §107.51 but does not by itself satisfy §107.43 if the aircraft sits under the approach path. Part 107 does not require remote pilots to file NOTAMs or to make periodic CTAF broadcasts.
