Why: 14 CFR § 107.21(a) states: "In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the remote pilot in command may deviate from any rule of this part to the extent necessary to meet that emergency." A written report is only required afterward, upon request of the Administrator (§ 107.21(b)).

• Imports a manned-aviation-style prior-authorization requirement; § 107.21 grants the remote pilot immediate deviation authority without needing ATC approval first.
• Invents a fixed 5-minute time limit not found in the regulation, which instead ties the permitted deviation to what is "necessary to meet that emergency," with no stated time cap.
