Regulations

A remote PIC, owner, or person manipulating the flight controls of a small unmanned aircraft system must, upon request, make available to the Administrator: (1) the Remote Pilot Certificate with a small UAS Rating; and (2) any other document, record, or report required.

No person may act as PIC, or in any other capacity as a required pilot flight crewmember when operating a sUAS unless he or she has in possession or readily accessible a current pilot certificate.

This operation is recreational in nature. However, Part 48 "Registration and Marking Requirements for sUAS" applies for all operations of an sUAS over .55 pounds, whether for work of your own enjoyment.

Lithium batteries that are installed in an sUAS for power during the operation are not considered a hazardous material under Part 107. However, spare (uninstalled) lithium batteries would meet the definition of hazardous material and may not be carried on the sUAS.

The sUAS must be registered by a person who is at least 13 years of age.

An unmanned aircraft means an aircraft operated without the possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the aircraft.

This scenario is not compliant with Part 107. Vision aids such as binoculars may be used only momentarily to enhance situational awareness. They may not be used for the duration of the operation.

A refusal to submit to a test to indicate the percentage by weight of alcohol in the blood, when requested by a law enforcement officer, or a refusal to furnish or authorize the release of the test results requested by the Administrator, is grounds for denial of an application for a Remote Pilot Certificate with an sUAS Rating for a period of up to 1 year after the date of that refusal; or suspension or revocation of a Remote Pilot Certificate with an sUAS Rating.Answer (A) is incorrect because the remote pilot applicant could be denied application for up to 1 year after the date of refusal. Answer (B) is incorrect because the operator could risk having their remote pilot certificate suspended or revoked.

The remote PIC also has a responsibility to remain clear of and yield right-of-way to all other aircraft, manned or unmanned, and avoid other potential hazards that may affect the remote PIC's operation of the aircraft.Answer (A) is incorrect because binoculars may be used only momentarily to enhance situational awareness. Answer (B) is incorrect because the first-person view camera cannot satisfy see-and-avoid requirement.
