Not all risks can be eliminated. Those that can't must be _____.

• A. mitigated
• B. managed
• C. accepted
• D. transferred

Answer: (B)

Not all risks can be eliminated, so the remaining risk after applying every feasible control must be managed. This means implementing ongoing measures to reduce the probability and/or impact, and continuously monitoring and adjusting those controls to keep the risk within an acceptable level. In UAS operations, this includes procedures, training, preflight checks, contingency plans, and monitoring for any changes that could increase risk. Transferring risk or simply accepting it aren’t sufficient alone, and while partial mitigation is important, the idea here is proactive, continuous management of what’s left after eliminations.
