Drone exam · Incident reporting and recordkeeping

An observer repeatedly sees pedestrians entering the planned landing area despite the existing cordon, but each flight is stopped in time. Why report the pattern?

Answer

Repeated incursions show that the ground control method is unreliable. Recording the hazard allows the operator to redesign the site control before someone is injured.

Explanation

Voluntary and internal reporting can expose systemic weaknesses before a mandatory reporting threshold is crossed.
