According to AC 107-2A § 5.15, does part 107 permit a small UAS to transport another person's property for compensation or hire?
Why: AC 107-2A § 5.15 states that part 107 permits transportation of property by small unmanned aircraft for compensation or hire, provided the operation is conducted within a confined area and complies with part 107's operating restrictions, and the transport occurs wholly within a single state.
This overstates the rule as a blanket ban, confusing property transport generally with the separate, absolute prohibition on carrying hazardous material in § 107.36.
This reverses the actual rule: § 107.36 prohibits carrying hazardous material outright; transporting permitted (non-hazardous) property for compensation is what § 5.15 allows.
