An operator has only open category procedures but wants to perform an urban inspection that exceeds the open category conditions. What is the correct response?

Answer

The operator should redesign the mission to fit the lower risk category or obtain the required authorization, declaration, standard scenario, or other local approval.

Explanation

A category is not a label chosen for convenience. If the real operation exceeds the category conditions, the operation or approval path must change.
