Operations over people basics UAG-04-006

You will inspect a roof in a busy neighborhood with a drone that is not eligible for any category of operations over people. Neighbors are out in their yards along the planned flight path. Which plan complies with the rule on flight over people?

Show the answer

The answer is A: Ask the neighbors along the path to stay indoors until you have landed

Without a category, the drone may fly only over direct participants or people under safe cover, so a compliant plan keeps people out from under it, for example by asking them to remain indoors or under cover until the flight ends. No altitude makes flight over people legal, and putting people on notice matters only for Category 3 inside a closed- or restricted-access site.

Sustained flight over open-air assemblies UAG-04-016

You plan to hover for several minutes over the crowd of spectators lining a downtown parade route, using a Category 1 drone that is a standard Remote ID aircraft broadcasting normally. Does Part 107 allow this without a waiver?

Show the answer

The answer is B: Yes, because the operation meets the standard Remote ID requirements

For Category 1 (and 2 and 4) the only extra condition on sustained flight over an open-air assembly is that the operation meets 89.110 or 89.115(a), and a broadcasting standard Remote ID aircraft meets 89.110. The total ban on flight over open-air assemblies, and the transit-only idea, belong to Category 3.

Labels and operating instructions UAG-04-059

A shop modifies a Category 2-labeled drone so that it no longer meets Category 2 but does meet Category 3, and its new declaration for Category 3 is accepted. What should happen to the labels?

Show the answer

The answer is A: The shop removes or covers the Category 2 label so only Category 3 shows

A label must be changed when an aircraft is modified for a different category; the person who performed the modification removes or covers the previous label so only the label showing the newly eligible category is visible. Leaving the old label would misidentify what the aircraft may do.

Moving vehicles UAG-04-066

A car-magazine client wants you to follow one moving sports car on a public highway for a minute from directly above it. Your drone is a labeled Category 2 aircraft on an accepted declaration, and you are not operating over a closed- or restricted-access site. May you do it?

Show the answer

The answer is C: No; outside a closed site it must not sustain flight over moving vehicles

107.145 allows Category 1, 2 or 3 flight over people in moving vehicles only within or over a closed- or restricted-access site with everyone on notice, or without sustained flight over moving vehicles. The stationary-vehicle protection in 107.39(b) does not extend to vehicles that are moving.

Category 2 UAG-04-090

A colleague tells you that your 3-pound drone cannot be used for Category 2 because Category 2 aircraft must weigh no more than 0.55 pounds. The drone is labeled Category 2 and listed on an accepted declaration. Is your colleague right?

Show the answer

The answer is B: No; Category 2 limits injury severity, not weight

Categories 2 and 3 are performance-based: they apply to aircraft weighing more than 0.55 pounds that meet the injury-severity (11 or 25 ft-lb), exposed-rotating-parts and safety-defect requirements, shown through a declaration of compliance. The 0.55-lb weight limit belongs only to Category 1.
