  • B.File a written flight plan with the nearest control tower before every flight and receive an acknowledgment before takeoff
  • C.Ensure the small UAS is in a condition for safe operation and that control links and onboard systems are working properly
Correct answer

C. Ensure the small UAS is in a condition for safe operation and that control links and onboard systems are working properly

Why

The remote pilot must verify the aircraft is safe to fly and that systems such as control links are functioning properly. Part 107 does not require a tower flight plan or a mechanic's release for each flight.
