Question 24
Domain 4: FAA Part 107 RegulationsWhat must a remote pilot do if they experience a deviation from Part 107 regulations due to an emergency?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Under 14 CFR § 107.21, a remote pilot may deviate from Part 107 rules in an emergency to the extent necessary to meet that emergency. If the deviation is due to an emergency, the rule does not require prior authorization or reporting for the deviation itself.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. File a report within 10 days
B. Notify the FAA within 24 hours
C. File a report with the NTSB
D. No reporting required if it was an emergency
14 CFR § 107.21 permits a remote pilot in command to deviate from any Part 107 rule when necessary to respond to an emergency involving the safety of life or property. The regulation does not impose a post-event reporting requirement for that emergency deviation itself; the pilot’s authority is limited to the extent needed to address the emergency, and no separate notification is mandated by § 107.21.
