CTAF Is Not ATC

Hearing no response after announcing on CTAF means the remote pilot

  • A.has been cleared by ATC to proceed
  • B.may climb above 400 feet AGL
  • C.must still look for traffic, because CTAF is self-announce and no controller is providing separation
Correct answer

C. must still look for traffic, because CTAF is self-announce and no controller is providing separation

Why

CTAF has no controller, so silence on the frequency is not a clearance and other aircraft may be operating without radios. The remote pilot must still scan visually and comply with all altitude limits.
