Airspace & ChartsQuestion 51 of 100
A survey site falls inside an area outlined on the sectional with a blue hatched border and labeled R-2508. The chart panel lists the area as active during daylight hours with a using agency shown. What governs the planned Part 107 flight?
a.The flight is allowed below 400 ft AGL because restricted areas apply only to manned aircraft
b.The flight is allowed as long as the aircraft remains at least 3 NM outside the boundary
c.The flight may not enter the area unless permission of the controlling or using agency is obtained
d.The flight is allowed once LAANC authorization for the underlying airspace is approved
Explanation
Section 107.45 forbids operating a small UAS in a prohibited or restricted area unless the remote pilot has permission from the using or controlling agency, and the R prefix identifies a restricted area. Restricted areas contain hazards such as artillery or guided missiles and apply to unmanned as well as manned aircraft, so low altitude does not exempt the flight. Staying outside the boundary would be legal, but the question places the site inside, and LAANC addresses controlled airspace rather than special use areas.
