Correct answer: A. Operating conditions, emergency and contingency procedures, roles, and potential hazards

  • B — incorrect Registration and declaration of compliance details are not the subject of the § 107.49(b) briefing requirement.

BACKGROUND

Section 107.49 requires a set of preflight actions by the remote pilot in command. Paragraph (b) requires the pilot to ensure that all persons directly participating in the small unmanned aircraft operation are informed about the operating conditions, emergency procedures, contingency procedures, roles and responsibilities, and potential hazards. The Remote Pilot Study Guide makes the same point in its emergency chapter: crew members, including any visual observers and any non-certificated person allowed to manipulate the flight controls, must be briefed on the flight and the planned emergency procedures. A briefed crew can respond consistently to a lost link or fly-away.

STUDY TIP

Learn the five § 107.49(b) briefing items as a set: operating conditions, emergency procedures, contingency procedures, roles and responsibilities, and potential hazards.

KEY POINTS

  • § 107.49(b) requires briefing all directly participating persons before flight.
  • The briefing covers emergency and contingency procedures among other items.
  • The study guide extends this to visual observers and non-certificated persons on the controls.
