According to 14 CFR part 107, how may a remote pilot operate an unmanned aircraft in Class C airspace?

A

The remote pilot must have prior authorization from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility having jurisdiction over that airspace.✓ Correct Answer

B

The remote pilot must monitor the Air Traffic Control (ATC) frequency from launch to recovery.

C

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.
