Drone exam · Incident reporting and recordkeeping

A US Part 107 operation causes property damage exceeding the FAA threshold, excluding damage to the drone itself. What should the remote pilot do?

Answer

Report the operation to the FAA within the applicable Part 107 timeframe and use the current FAA reporting method. Also check whether any NTSB or other reporting duty applies separately.

Explanation

FAA Part 107 reporting has defined triggers and a 10 day deadline, but it is not the only possible US reporting regime.
