Home › Part 107 Practice Tests › Regulations & Registration Questions › Question 41
During a preflight check you find a cracked propeller that could fail in flight. What does Part 107 require?
- A.Fly only if the client agrees in writing to accept the risk of an in-flight failure
- B.Fly below 100 feet, since a defect of this kind is minor on a short flight
- C.Do not fly until the aircraft is in a condition for safe operation
Correct answer
C. Do not fly until the aircraft is in a condition for safe operation
Why
No person may operate a small UAS unless it is in a condition for safe operation, and the remote pilot must address an unsafe defect first. A client's consent and a lower altitude do not cure an unsafe condition.
