FAA 107 Commercial Drone Pilot Practice Exam

The primary compliance issue with using a UAS to drop promotional items over a concert audience is that it is not compliant with part 107. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established regulations under Part 107 that govern the operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). These rules emphasize safety and prohibit actions that could endanger people or property.

Specifically, the act of dropping items from a drone can lead to unintended consequences, such as injury to individuals or damage to property, which is contrary to the primary safety mandates defined in Part 107. This regulation underscores the importance of ensuring that UAS operations do not pose a risk to the public or create hazards in populated areas.

While safety risks and potential local regulations might also be relevant considerations, they do not capture the direct violation of federal aviation rules that governs UAS activities. Therefore, the incorrect nature of the other options lies in their failure to address the specific compliance breach that Part 107 regulations aim to enforce regarding careless operational practices involving drones.
