Correct: D. Since the 2021 rule change, §107.29 permits night operations without a waiver provided the remote PIC has completed the current training and the sUAS has anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 SM with a flash rate sufficient to avoid collision.
- C — Waivers were required before April 2021; no longer.
- A — A VO is optional under Part 107.
- B — The 400-ft limit is unchanged at night.
