Drone exam · Airspace restrictions

One app shows the site as unrestricted while the authority portal shows a restriction with conditions. How should the pilot handle the conflict?

Answer

The pilot should rely on the authority portal or contact the appropriate authority if the condition is unclear. The less restrictive app should not be used to override the official source.

Explanation

Conflicting tools should trigger investigation, not cherry picking. The pilot has to be able to explain why the chosen source was authoritative and current. A convenient result is not the same as a defensible result.
