Question 21
Domain 3: FAA Part 107 AirspaceA remote pilot plans to operate in an area where a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is active for a sporting event. What is required?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
A Temporary Flight Restriction is a regulatory airspace restriction, and operations in that airspace are not allowed unless the FAA grants specific authorization. Because the area is restricted for the sporting event, a remote pilot must obtain that authorization before flying; otherwise, the flight is prohibited.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Operations are permitted with Visual Observer
B. Operations are prohibited without specific authorization
14 CFR § 91.137 establishes Temporary Flight Restrictions for sporting events and other special security situations, and the FAA may prohibit or limit aircraft operations within the designated area. For a remote pilot under 14 CFR Part 107, flight in that restricted airspace cannot occur unless the FAA has issued the required authorization or waiver for that specific TFR; absent that approval, the operation is not permitted.
C. Operations are permitted below 200 feet AGL
D. Operations are permitted with prior notice to event organizers
