Which statement correctly distinguishes recreational flying under 49 U.S.C. 44809 from Part 107 flying?

• A.Recreational flying must be strictly for fun or recreation; flying in furtherance of a business falls under Part 107
• B.Any flight counts as recreational as long as the pilot is not paid in cash at the time of the flight, whatever its real purpose
• C.A business flight becomes recreational if it uses a very small drone, weighs less than 0.55 pound, and stays over private property

Why

The 44809 exception covers only flights flown strictly for recreational purposes. Purpose, not the form of payment or the size of the drone, decides whether a flight is recreational or a Part 107 operation.
