Authorization vs Waiver

If a remote pilot holds a Part 107 waiver for a specific operating rule, does that waiver replace the need for ATC airspace authorization in Class D?

  • A.Yes, a waiver covers all airspace approvals
  • B.Only if the waiver was issued through LAANC
  • C.No, airspace authorization under 107.41 is a separate requirement
Correct answer

C. No, airspace authorization under 107.41 is a separate requirement

Why

Waivers and airspace authorizations address different requirements, so a waiver of an operating rule does not grant access to controlled airspace. The pilot must still obtain 107.41 authorization for Class D.
