Which weather minimums must be met for a Part 107 operation without a waiver?
- A3 SM visibility; 1,000 ft above clouds
- B1 SM visibility; clear of clouds
- C3 SM visibility; 500 ft below and 2,000 ft horizontally from clouds
- D5 SM visibility; 1,000 ft below clouds
Show answer and rationale
Correct: C. §107.51(c)–(d): minimum flight visibility 3 statute miles from the control station, and the aircraft must remain at least 500 ft below and 2,000 ft horizontally from clouds.
- B — Those are not the Part 107 minimums.
- D — 5 SM/1,000 ft are manned VFR values in some airspace, not Part 107.
- A — sUAS stay below clouds; the vertical figure is 500 ft.
