During an operation, responsibility for the flight can pass to another certificated remote pilot only when
- A.a visual observer announces the change out loud to bystanders near the operating area before takeoff.
- B.the first remote pilot simply walks away from the control station without telling anyone at all.
- C.the transfer is clearly made and the new remote pilot accepts responsibility for the operation.
Correct answer
C. the transfer is clearly made and the new remote pilot accepts responsibility for the operation.
Why
Final responsibility under 107.19 rests with an identified remote pilot in command at all times, so any handover must be explicit and accepted. Silently leaving, or an announcement by someone else, does not transfer that responsibility.
