Airspace & ChartsQuestion 58 of 100
Before a commercial mapping flight, a remote pilot must confirm that no temporary flight restriction or airspace closure affects the operating area. Which source should be consulted for this information?
a.The legend printed in the margin of the current sectional aeronautical chart
b.The UAS Facility Map grid values published for the surrounding airspace
c.Current notices to air missions obtained through official FAA notice sources
d.The airport data block and Chart Supplement entry for the nearest airport
Explanation
Temporary flight restrictions, airspace closures, and other short-notice changes are distributed as notices to air missions, so the remote pilot must check current FAA notice sources before every flight. A sectional legend explains chart symbols and a Chart Supplement entry lists permanent field data, but neither reflects a restriction issued yesterday. UAS Facility Maps show pre-approved altitude ceilings for LAANC and do not publish temporary restrictions.
