A remote pilot will need permission from ATC to fly a UAS 400 feet and below in Class G airspace.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only when using certain equipment
• D. Only during daylight

Answer: (B)

Uncontrolled airspace means you don’t need ATC clearance for small UAS operations up to 400 ft AGL. In Class G, a remote pilot operating under Part 107 can fly a drone up to 400 feet above ground level without obtaining permission from air traffic control, as long as other rules are followed (like maintaining visual line of sight and staying clear of controlled or restricted airspace). You would only need ATC authorization when you’re in controlled airspace (Class B/C/D/E) or near airports where ATC manages the airspace. Daylight timing doesn’t determine ATC permission in Class G; the key factor is whether the airspace is controlled.
