FAA sample question 35 of 46 · Regulations

According to 14 CFR part 48, when must a person register a small UA with the Federal Aviation Administration?

A. All civilian small UAs weighing greater than .55 pounds must be registered regardless of its intended use.

B. When the small UA is used for any purpose other than as a model aircraft.

C. Only when the operator will be paid for commercial services.

Answer: A. All civilian small UAs weighing greater than .55 pounds must be registered regardless of its intended use.

Anything over 0.55 pounds (250 g) must be registered whatever it is used for. Under that weight, only drones flown recreationally are exempt; a sub-250 g drone flown under Part 107 still has to be registered.
