Drone exam · Airspace restrictions

A planned route crosses the edge of a military training area that appears quiet. No aircraft are visible. What should the pilot do before deciding the route is safe?

Answer

The pilot should check the official status, activation times, and entry conditions for the area. If the area is active or the conditions cannot be confirmed, the route should be changed or the flight delayed.

Explanation

Restricted or military areas may be active without obvious signs on the ground. Aircraft, weapons training, surveillance, or security activity can create risks that a drone pilot cannot judge by looking at the site. Official status controls the decision.
