Drone exam · Ground-risk mitigation

A mapping route does not pass over pedestrians, but it crosses a busy vehicle entrance and loading bays. What should the assessment include?

Answer

Include drivers, passengers, forklift operators, loading crews, and others who may be exposed if the aircraft leaves the intended path or lands unexpectedly.

Explanation

Ground risk is not limited to people standing in open space. People in moving vehicles and work areas can be difficult to predict or clear quickly.
