When must a remote pilot obtain ATC authorization for controlled airspace under 107.41?
- A.Within 24 hours after completing the flight
- B.Before operating in that airspace
- C.Only if ATC contacts the pilot first
Correct answer
B. Before operating in that airspace
Why
Authorization under 107.41 is a prior authorization, so it must be in hand before the operation begins in that airspace. Requesting it afterward, or waiting to be contacted, does not comply with the rule.
