What should a remote pilot understand about positioning an sUAS launch site on an airport?
- A.Any flat pavement on the airport is acceptable
- B.Only the tower can choose a launch site, even at non-towered airports
- C.The launch site must not place the aircraft or operation in conflict with runways, taxiways, or manned aircraft movement
Correct answer
C. The launch site must not place the aircraft or operation in conflict with runways, taxiways, or manned aircraft movement
Why
Even a ground launch position can create a hazard if the climb-out crosses active surfaces or movement areas. Site selection must keep the entire operation clear of manned aircraft movement.
