Drone exam · Operational procedures

Barriers are repeatedly moved by pedestrians during a festival setup, and the marshal cannot keep the operating area clear. The flight is already behind schedule. What should the pilot do?

Answer

Stop or relocate the operation. If the required ground control cannot be maintained, schedule pressure does not make the original plan acceptable.

Explanation

A control measure that repeatedly fails is not a control measure the pilot can rely on. The correct response is to change the operation rather than accept the degraded condition.
