Drone exam · Ground-risk mitigation

A construction supervisor knows a drone inspection is happening, but several workers in the yard have not been briefed and are free to move anywhere. Can the pilot treat all of them as involved in the operation?

Answer

No. Knowing that a drone is present is not the same as being an involved participant. The pilot should identify who has actually been briefed, accepted the relevant role or exposure, and can follow the operation's safety instructions.

Explanation

Ground risk planning depends on how people will behave during the flight, not on whether someone works for the same organisation.
