A local TV station has hired a remote pilot who has had multiple near misses and two sUAS accidents in the past year. As the newly hired remote pilot, what should you do?

Question

Accepted Answer

Report the incidents to the FAA and ensure proper procedures are followed going forward.. Known safety incidents involving serious near misses and accidents must be addressed through proper reporting and corrective procedures. As the incoming remote PIC, ensuring compliance with Part 107 reporting requirements and establishing corrective procedures protects both safety and legal standing.

Answer

Review the specific circumstances of each incident before assuming there is a systemic problem.

Answer

Immediately establish a safety culture and refuse to conduct any operations until a proper safety review is completed.
