QUESTIONUnder § 107.110, a remote pilot conducting Category 1 operations may operate a small unmanned aircraft in sustained flight over open-air assemblies of human beings only if the operation meets the requirements of

  1. A§ 107.120(a), the Category 2 injury-severity eligibility standard
  2. B§ 107.145, the rules for operations over moving vehicles
  3. C§ 89.110 or § 89.115(a) of the remote identification rules
Show the answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. § 89.110 or § 89.115(a) of the remote identification rules

  • A — incorrect § 107.120(a) sets the eligibility standard for Category 2 aircraft; it is not the requirement that § 107.110(b) references for sustained flight over open-air assemblies.
  • B — incorrect § 107.145 governs operations over moving vehicles; § 107.110(b) references part 89, not § 107.145.
  • C — correct § 107.110(b) states that no remote pilot in command may operate in sustained flight over open-air assemblies of human beings unless the operation meets the requirements of either § 89.110 or § 89.115(a); part 89 is the Remote Identification (RID) regulation.

BACKGROUND

Subpart D of 14 CFR part 107 sets out four categories of operations over human beings. Category 1, in § 107.110, requires a small unmanned aircraft that weighs 0.55 pounds or less on takeoff and throughout the operation and has no exposed rotating parts that would lacerate human skin. § 107.110(b) adds a separate condition for sustained flight over open-air assemblies of human beings: the operation must meet the requirements of either § 89.110 or § 89.115(a). Part 89 is the Remote Identification (RID) regulation listed among the references in the Remote Pilot Airman Certification Standards. The same open-air assembly condition appears in § 107.115(b) for Category 2 and in § 107.140(a)(2) for Category 4.

STUDY TIP

Link the phrase "sustained flight over open-air assemblies of human beings" to the two part 89 section numbers, § 89.110 and § 89.115(a); the knowledge test may cite them directly.

KEY POINTS

  • § 107.110(b) conditions sustained flight over open-air assemblies on § 89.110 or § 89.115(a).
  • Part 89 is the Remote Identification regulation referenced by the ACS.
  • Categories 2 and 4 carry the identical open-air assembly condition.

SOURCES

  • 14 CFR 107.110(b)
