Question

What action should be taken by the remote PIC (Pilot in Command) during a sUAS (small Unmanned Aircraft System) flyaway event?

1) Immediately notify the NTSB
2) Immediately notify any / all crew members, ATC, and any bystanders
3) Immediately notify any / all crew members, local law enforcement personnel, and bystanders

Answer 1

In a sUAS flyaway event, the remote PIC should notify crew members, local law enforcement, and bystanders to ensure safety and address potential hazards.

Step-by-step explanation:

During a small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) flyaway event, the remote Pilot in Command (PIC) should immediately notify any and all crew members, local law enforcement personnel, and bystanders. This is important to ensure safety and to initiate steps to regain control of the aircraft or minimize potential hazards that the runaway drone might cause. The PIC is not required to immediately notify the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) unless the event results in an accident that meets NTSB reporting criteria.
