Under Part 107, is coordination with air traffic control required for operations in Class-G airspace?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only during certain times
• D. Only with an exemption

Answer: (B)

Class G airspace is uncontrolled, so Part 107 operations don’t require coordination with air traffic control. You can fly there under Part 107 without ATC clearance, as long as you follow the standard rules such as staying within visual line of sight, staying at or below 400 feet AGL, and not operating over people (unless you have the appropriate waivers). If you plan to operate in controlled airspace (Class B, C, D, or E), you must obtain ATC authorization before flight, typically through LAANC or another FAA-approved method. The requirement isn’t about time or exemptions—it's determined by the airspace class.
