RegulationsDifficulty 2/5
During a Part 107 flight, an sUAS strikes a parked car causing $350 of damage; nobody is injured. What is required?
- AReport to the NTSB immediately
- BNo FAA accident report is required because damage is under $500 and there is no serious injury
- CReport to the FAA within 24 hours
- DReport to the FAA within 10 calendar days
Show answer and rationale
Correct: B. §107.9 requires a report within 10 calendar days only for serious injury or loss of consciousness, or property damage of at least $500 (excluding the sUAS). $350 with no injury does not trigger the requirement, though the remote PIC should still document the event.
- D — The 10-day rule applies only above the thresholds.
- A — NTSB rules apply to different criteria; not triggered here.
- C — There is no 24-hour Part 107 reporting rule.
