Why should a remote pilot avoid lingering at low altitude over a runway or taxiway area?
- A.Low hovering drains the battery faster near pavement
- B.An sUAS there can conflict with manned aircraft using or crossing those surfaces
- C.Airport pavement interferes with the control link
Correct answer
B. An sUAS there can conflict with manned aircraft using or crossing those surfaces
Why
Runways and taxiways are active movement surfaces where manned aircraft taxi, take off, and land, sometimes with little warning. Loitering above them creates a collision and runway-incursion hazard.
