A remote pilot in command must report an accident to the FAA within how many days if there is serious injury or property damage over $500?
Why →
Under 14 CFR § 107.9, a remote PIC must report any accident resulting in serious injury, loss of consciousness, or property damage exceeding $500 (other than the UAS itself) to the FAA within 10 calendar days.The trap →
The FAA deliberately uses "calendar days" not "business days." 5 business days sounds about right for a government form, but that's the trap. And the $500 threshold excludes the cost of the drone itself.SOURCE → 14 CFR § 107.9CHECKED APR 21ACS I.B.K5MED
