Ace Your 107
UA.I.B.K17

Per AC 107-2A § 5.10.1.2, how should a remote pilot operate a small UAS at an airport in uncontrolled airspace to avoid interfering with manned aircraft traffic?

Why: AC 107-2A § 5.10.1.2 directs remote PICs to avoid operating in the traffic pattern or published approach corridors, and when operational necessity requires flying near such an airport, to do so in a way that does not require the manned aircraft pilot to alter the flightpath to avoid a potential collision.

  • Airports in uncontrolled airspace by definition have no operating control tower, so 'tower hours' is not a meaningful or stated standard here.
  • No specific altitude figure such as 50 feet AGL appears in § 5.10.1.2; the guidance is about avoiding the pattern and corridors, not a fixed altitude block.
