Drone exam · Operational procedures

A fenced worksite is normally empty, but a side gate cannot be locked. What contingency should be briefed?

Answer

Define how the crew will detect an entry, call a stop, move or hold the aircraft, and land or suspend the operation until the ground area is controlled again.

Explanation

The plan should assume foreseeable control failures. An unlocked gate is a known path for uninvolved people to enter, not an unexpected surprise.
