Conquer the Skies with the 2025 FAA Part 107 Drone Mastery Test – Soar to Success!

When a remote pilot encounters a manned aircraft while flying, the correct action is to give way to the manned aircraft. This is in accordance with aviation regulations and safety protocols. Manned aircraft have the right of way, particularly in cases where a potential conflict could occur, as they typically operate at higher altitudes and have established flight paths that need to be respected.

By giving way, the remote pilot ensures that they are not putting themselves or the manned aircraft in a dangerous situation. This could mean maneuvering the drone to avoid the path of the aircraft or simply allowing it to pass by without interference. It is critical for drone operators to be aware of their surroundings and actively monitor for other aircraft to prevent collisions.

In this scenario, while considerations might arise around climbing or altering speed, the priority must be on ensuring the safety of all airspace users, particularly manned aircraft, which are tasked with much greater responsibilities in terms of flight safety and emergency procedures.
