Your aircraft crashes and is destroyed, causing $900 in damage to the aircraft itself and no other harm or damage. Is an FAA accident report required under 107.9?

• A.Yes, because the total loss from the crash exceeds $500 once all damage is counted
• B.No, because damage to the small UAS itself is not counted
• C.Yes, because every crash that destroys an aircraft must be reported within 10 days

Why

Damage to the small unmanned aircraft itself is excluded from the $500 property calculation. With no serious injury, loss of consciousness, or qualifying damage to other property, no 107.9 report is required.
