Drone exam · Airspace restrictions

The official airspace portal is unavailable, and the pilot has only a cached map. The job is commercially important but not urgent. What should the pilot do?

Answer

The pilot should delay or move the operation until authoritative current airspace information is available. Commercial importance does not justify guessing about restrictions.

Explanation

A cached map may be useful for planning, but it is weak evidence for a live go/no go decision. If the pilot cannot confirm current restrictions or permissions, launching turns uncertainty into risk.
