According to 14 CFR Part 48, when would a small UA owner NOT be permitted to register it?
AIf the owner is less than 13 years of age.✓ Correct answer
BAll persons must register their small UA.
CIf the owner does not have a valid United States driver's license.
Why →Under 14 CFR § 48.25, an owner must be at least 13 years of age to register a small UA. Minors under 13 cannot hold the registration. A U.S. driver's license is not required. Registration requires only a name, email, and physical address.
The trap →A driver's license is not required for FAA drone registration; plenty of drone owners are too young to drive. The age floor is 13, not 16 or 18.
Field note →If a drone is owned by someone under 13, a parent or guardian who is 13+ can register it on their behalf. Registration costs $5 and is valid for 3 years.
