Home › Part 107 Practice Tests › Airspace & Flight Restrictions Questions › Question 72
A remote pilot flying just outside charted Class C boundaries but near a busy airport should remember that
- A.ATC authorization is required everywhere within sight of the airport
- B.Class C rules secretly extend 20 NM in all directions
- C.manned traffic may be descending through the area toward the airport, so vigilance is still essential
Correct answer
C. manned traffic may be descending through the area toward the airport, so vigilance is still essential
Why
Airspace boundaries define where authorization is required, but arrival and departure traffic operates beyond them, so see-and-avoid vigilance remains essential nearby. Proximity or visibility of an airport alone does not expand the 107.41 requirement.
