A remote pilot spots a glider approaching from the left at the same approximate altitude during a flight over an open rural area. What action is required?
Why →
Under 14 CFR § 107.37(a), a small unmanned aircraft must yield the right of way to all aircraft without exception. Gliders are aircraft. The drone must give way regardless of altitude, airspace class, or who has the geometric right of way. The appropriate action is to maneuver the drone clear of the glider's path immediately.The trap →
Choice A is wrong on two counts. Part 107 does not grant drones priority in low-altitude airspace, and altitude relationship is irrelevant under § 107.37. Choice C is impractical and not required. The pilot of an unpowered glider may not be monitoring any radio frequency.SOURCE → 14 CFR § 107.37(a)CHECKED APR 22ACS V.A.K2EASY
