Which property damage from a Part 107 accident triggers the FAA reporting requirement?

• A.Damage to property other than the small UAS exceeding $500 to repair or in fair market value if a total loss
• B.Damage to any property, including the aircraft itself, but only when the total loss exceeds $5,000 in one operation
• C.Any scratch or dent to the small UAS itself, regardless of repair cost, whenever the aircraft is taken out of service

Why

The trigger is more than $500 in damage to property other than the unmanned aircraft itself, measured by repair cost or fair market value. Damage to the drone alone does not count toward that threshold.
