According to 14 CFR part 107, who is responsible for determining the performance of a small unmanned aircraft?
A
Remote pilot-in-command.✓ Correct Answer
B
Manufacturer.
C
Owner or operator.
Explanation
Under 14 CFR 107.19 the remote pilot in command is directly responsible for, and the final authority as to, the operation of the small UAS, and AC 107-2A Appendix B.1 places on the remote PIC the job of determining the aircraft's operational performance, using manufacturer data or data published by other users when none is provided. The manufacturer may supply performance data, and the owner or operator may own the aircraft, but neither carries the regulatory responsibility.
