Under what conditions may objects be dropped from an aircraft?
A
Only in an emergency.
B
If precautions are taken to avoid injury or damage to persons or property on the surface.✓ Correct Answer
C
If prior permission is received from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Explanation
14 CFR 91.15 says no pilot in command may allow an object to be dropped from an aircraft in flight that creates a hazard to persons or property, but it does not prohibit dropping objects if reasonable precautions are taken to avoid injury or damage on the surface. No emergency or FAA permission is required by that rule.
