Remote Pilot Certificate or supervision by a certificated remote pilot.
23. Q: Can you fly beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)? A: Not under
standard Part 107 operations; requires a waiver.
24. Q: What is the maximum operational time for a remote pilot? A: No
specific limit, but must not operate when fatigued or impaired.

hours of operation or with blood alcohol of 0.04% or greater, and any drugs that
impair faculties.
26. Q: What is required for drone registration? A: All drones over 0.55
pounds must be registered with the FAA.
, 27. Q: Where must the registration number be displayed? A: On the aircraft
in a manner that allows viewing without moving any part of the aircraft.

Civil penalties up to $27,500, and criminal penalties including fines and
imprisonment.
29. Q: Can you drop objects from a drone? A: Not under standard Part 107
without a waiver, except for water or wildlife management operations.
30. Q: What is required for operations over moving vehicles? A: The drone
must be Category 1, 2, or 3 certified, or operations must be over closed-access
sites.
31. Q: What is a visual observer? A: A person who assists the remote pilot in
maintaining visual contact with the aircraft.
32. Q: Can you operate in clouds? A: No, Part 107 operations must maintain
visual meteorological conditions (VMC).
33. Q: What is the minimum ceiling for Part 107 operations? A: No specific
minimum, but must maintain required cloud clearances and visibility.
34. Q: What is prohibited regarding right-of-way? A: Small UAS must yield
right-of-way to all other aircraft, airborne vehicles, and launch/reentry vehicles.
35. Q: Can you tether a drone? A: Yes, but it's still subject to Part 107
requirements unless operated under Part 101.
36. Q: What is required for Category 2 operations over people? A: FAA-
accepted Declaration of Compliance and operating limitations to reduce injury
severity.
