During a flight, a bystander is knocked unconscious by a falling aircraft component. What must the remote pilot in command do?

• A.Do nothing, because the aircraft itself was not damaged
• B.Report the accident to the FAA within 10 calendar days
• C.Report it only if the person later files a lawsuit

Why

Loss of consciousness is expressly a reportable event under 107.9, so the accident must be reported within 10 calendar days. It does not depend on a lawsuit, and aircraft damage is a separate, non-counted item.
