Under Part 107, how may a remote pilot operate a small unmanned aircraft in Class A airspace?
- A.Class A is not a realistic operating area for sUAS, which are limited to low altitudes well below its floor
- B.Only with a visual observer on board the aircraft
- C.Freely, if the aircraft remains below 400 feet AGL
Correct answer
A. Class A is not a realistic operating area for sUAS, which are limited to low altitudes well below its floor
Why
Class A begins at 18,000 feet MSL, far above the altitudes where sUAS operate under Part 107. Low-altitude freedom below 400 feet AGL describes operations in uncontrolled or authorized low-altitude airspace, not Class A.
