- C.No effect on manned aircraft
- D.Improves only if the drone has anti-collision lighting
Show answer & explanation
Answer: B. Reduces the time manned aircraft have to see and avoid the sUAS, which is why §107.51 requires 500 ft below cloudsThe 500 ft below / 2,000 ft horizontal cloud separation in §107.51(d) exists to give manned aircraft emerging from cloud cover adequate time and distance to see and avoid sUAS.
