Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The Remote Pilot Certificate, identification, aircraft registration, and the certificate of waiver
Among the actions required before flight, AC 107-2A paragraph 5.11.1 says the remote PIC must ensure all necessary documentation is available for inspection: the Remote Pilot Certificate, identification, aircraft registration, and CoW, if applicable.
- A. Incorrect. Wrong. The AC's list does not include an airworthiness certificate or a medical certificate; it names the Remote Pilot Certificate, identification, registration, and the CoW.
- B. Incorrect. Wrong. The AC lists identification, aircraft registration, and the CoW, if applicable, in addition to the Remote Pilot Certificate.
- C. Correct. AC 107-2A says to ensure all necessary documentation is available for inspection, including these four items when a CoW applies.
