According to 14 CFR part 107, how may a remote pilot operate an unmanned aircraft in Class C airspace?
A. The remote pilot must have prior authorization from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility having jurisdiction over that airspace.
B. The remote pilot must monitor the Air Traffic Control (ATC) frequency from launch to recovery.
C. The remote pilot must contact the Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility after launching the unmanned aircraft.
Answer: A. The remote pilot must have prior authorization from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility having jurisdiction over that airspace.
Class B, C, D and surface-area Class E airspace all need ATC authorization before you fly, normally obtained through LAANC or DroneZone. Monitoring or calling ATC after launch does not satisfy it.
The FAA published this sample set in August 2021. Our answers were checked against the current regulations and against the testing-supplement figures in September 2026.
