Drone exam · Airspace restrictions

A real estate job is planned near a stadium on the day of a major event. The route does not cross the stadium itself. What airspace issue should the pilot still check?

Answer

The pilot should check whether an event related temporary restriction, flight restriction zone, or local security restriction affects the surrounding area at the planned time.

Explanation

Special event restrictions are often based on time and area, not only the exact roof or field being filmed. A flight that seems unrelated to the event can still fall inside a temporary or security restriction. The check needs to match the date, time, and location.
