The manufacturer's maximum takeoff weight is lower than 55 pounds for your aircraft. Which limit governs your flight?
- A.The 55-pound Part 107 limit, because federal rules override the manual
- B.Either limit, at the remote pilot's discretion
- C.The manufacturer's lower maximum takeoff weight
Correct answer
C. The manufacturer's lower maximum takeoff weight
Why
Both limits apply, so the more restrictive one controls. Flying above the manufacturer's maximum can exceed the structural and performance capability of that specific aircraft.
