   • DStandard 922.06, over people
   Ipakita ang sagot

   Sagot: A. Standard 922.05, near people

   Flying 5 to 30 m from uninvolved people is a near-people operation. It needs a drone declared to Standard 922.05.

    A medium drone will fly between 30 m and 152.4 m from uninvolved people. What declaration does it need?

    • AA declaration to Standard 922.04
    • BA pre-validated declaration to Standard 922.07

    A real estate client wants photos from 15 m beside a public sidewalk in uncontrolled airspace. You have an advanced certificate and a 2 kg drone declared to Standard 922.05. Is this allowed?

    • ANo, it needs a declaration to Standard 922.06
    • BNo, any flight under 30 m from people needs an SFOC
    • CYes, it is an advanced near-people operation
    • DYes, it is a basic operation
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: C. Yes, it is an advanced near-people operation

    15 m is between 5 m and 30 m from uninvolved people, so it is a near-people advanced operation. A 922.05 declaration and an advanced certificate cover it.
