Under 14 CFR § 107.23(b), when may a remote pilot allow an object to be dropped from a small unmanned aircraft?

Why: 14 CFR § 107.23(b) prohibits allowing "an object to be dropped from a small unmanned aircraft in a manner that creates an undue hazard to persons or property" — meaning drops that do not create an undue hazard are not prohibited by this section.

  • Treats the rule as an absolute ban on dropping anything, but § 107.23(b) only prohibits drops conducted "in a manner that creates an undue hazard," not dropping objects as such.
  • Imports the operations-over-people consent and category framework from subpart D, which is a separate set of rules from § 107.23(b)'s hazard-based standard for dropped objects.
