Manned traffic is heard on CTAF announcing an approach to a nearby airport while your sUAS is airborne. What is the best action?

• A.Climb to pattern altitude to be seen
• B.Continue the mission because the drone is below 400 feet
• C.Land or move well clear until the manned aircraft has completed its operation

Why

Yielding means removing the conflict, not negotiating it. Landing or clearing the area well in advance guarantees the manned aircraft's path stays unobstructed.
