Today’s show is about dealing with manned pilots who are disobeying laws. What actions should a drone pilot resort to in this scenario?
Our caller, Paul, is a drone service provider in Arkansas. One of Paul’s pilots witnessed a manned aircraft flying below 400 feet. As you might know, manned aircraft are required to maintain a minimum altitude of 500 feet as per the law. What should Paul do?
This is certainly an unusual situation that we have not discussed before at Ask Drone U. First of all, do regulations prohibit manned pilots from flying at low altitudes? Can manned aircraft get permission to fly at altitudes lower than 500 feet? Next, we discuss whether a Part 107 pilot will get into trouble for ignoring Part 107 rules in such emergencies. We also point out how altitude limits on drones will do little to avert a drone crash in such instances. Thanks for the great question, Paul. Fly Safe!
