Under US Code Title 14, which part covers small unmanned aircraft?

• A. Part 107
• B. Part 101
• C. Part 91
• D. Part 135

Answer: (A)

Small unmanned aircraft operations in the United States are regulated under Title 14 CFR Part 107. This section specifically governs how a small UAS can be operated, including who can fly it (a remote pilot with the appropriate certificate), the size and weight limit (under 55 pounds for civil operations), and the operational rules (visual line of sight, daylight operations, maximum altitude of 400 feet AGL, speed limit of 100 mph, etc.). It also covers registration, airspace authorization, and what waivers may be needed for certain operations. The other parts address different aviation rules and contexts: Part 91 covers general operating rules for all aircraft, Part 135 regulates on-demand commercial air services, and Part 101 deals with other unmanned activities such as unmanned balloons and model aircraft under older or separate frameworks, not the modern small UAS regime.
