Show the answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Any Federal, State, or local law enforcement officer

  • A — correct § 107.7(a)(2)(iii) lists any Federal, State, or local law enforcement officer among those who may request the certificate and identification for inspection.
  • B — incorrect Airport managers and fixed-base operator staff are not among the four requesters listed in § 107.7(a)(2).
  • C — incorrect § 107.7(a)(2) limits the right to request inspection to the Administrator, the NTSB, law enforcement officers, and the TSA; members of the public are not included.

BACKGROUND

§ 107.7(a) requires a remote pilot in command, owner, or person manipulating the flight controls to have the remote pilot certificate with a small UAS rating and identification in physical possession and readily accessible when exercising the certificate's privileges. Paragraph (a)(2) requires those documents to be presented for inspection upon request from four parties: the Administrator; an authorized representative of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB); any Federal, State, or local law enforcement officer; or an authorized representative of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Paragraph (a)(3) adds that any document, record, or report required to be kept under the regulations must be made available to the Administrator on request.

STUDY TIP

Learn the four requesters as a set: FAA Administrator, NTSB, law enforcement at any level, and TSA. Anyone outside that set is a wrong answer.

KEY POINTS

  • Certificate and identification must be in physical possession and readily accessible during operations.
  • Four parties may demand inspection: the Administrator, NTSB, any Federal, State, or local law enforcement officer, and TSA.
  • Required documents and records must be made available to the Administrator on request.
