According to 14 CFR part 107, the responsibility to inspect the small UAS to ensure it is in a safe operating condition rests with the
A
remote pilot-in-command.✓ Correct Answer
B
visual observer.
C
owner of the small UAS.
Explanation
14 CFR 107.15(a) states that, prior to each flight, the remote pilot in command must check the small UAS to determine whether it is in a condition for safe operation, and 107.49 lists the remote PIC's other preflight checks. A visual observer only helps the remote PIC see and avoid, and ownership of the aircraft carries no preflight inspection duty under Part 107.
