According to 14 CFR part 107, how may a remote pilot operate an unmanned aircraft in Class C airspace?
The remote pilot must have prior authorization from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility having jurisdiction over that airspace.✓ Correct Answer
The remote pilot must monitor the Air Traffic Control (ATC) frequency from launch to recovery.
The remote pilot must contact the Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility after launching the unmanned aircraft.
Explanation
Under 14 CFR 107.41, no person may operate a small unmanned aircraft in Class B, C, or D airspace (or in the surface area of Class E designated for an airport) without prior authorization from ATC. Authorization must be obtained before the flight; merely monitoring the ATC frequency or calling the facility after launch does not satisfy the rule.
