Hey all,
Studying up on my part 107 pilot license and came across this in the FAA study guide, Page 42:
"For safety reasons, a remote pilot must always scan the area where they are operating a small UA. This is especially important around an airport. While it is good operating procedures for manned aircraft to make radio broadcasts in the vicinity of a non-towered airport, by regulation, it is not mandatory. For this reason, a remote pilot must always look for other aircraft in the area, and use a radio for an extra layer of situational awareness. "
That sounds like we must use a radio when operating around an airport that does not have an ATC.
Study guide: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_pol...s/aviation/media/remote_pilot_study_guide.pdf
Also, I am shocked that manned pilots don't have to even broadcast their vicinity around non-towered airports.
Am I reading this wrong??
Thanks
