A remote pilot plans to fly at 200 feet AGL for a real estate shoot. A TFR is active in the area with a published floor of 1,000 feet AGL. Can the pilot proceed without additional authorization?
Why →
TFR floors vary. Some TFRs extend from the surface (emergency response, presidential movement) and others have stated floors. A 1,000-foot floor would allow Part 107 operations below it, but the pilot must read the actual NOTAM text to confirm the floor and any exceptions. Never assume a floor without reading the text.The trap →
Choice C reasons that drone altitudes are low enough to ignore TFRs. Many TFRs (sporting events under § 91.145, for example) extend to the surface and prohibit drone operations entirely.SOURCE → 14 CFR § 91.137 through § 91.145; FAA NOTAM systemCHECKED APR 21ACS II.B.K3MED
