To avoid a possible collision with a manned airplane, you estimate that your small UA climbed to an altitude greater than 600 feet AGL. To whom must you report the deviation?
A
Air Traffic Control.
B
The National Transportation Safety Board.
C
Upon request of the Federal Aviation Administration.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
Climbing above the 400-foot limit of 14 CFR 107.51(b) to avoid a collision is a deviation during an in-flight emergency, which 14 CFR 107.21(a) permits. Under 107.21(b) the remote PIC must send a written report of that deviation to the FAA only upon request of the Administrator. There is no requirement to report it to ATC, and it is not an accident that must be reported to the NTSB.
