Which of the following is NOT a requirement for operating a small UAS under Part 107?

Holding a valid sUAS license
Having a registered drone
Having a visual observer present at all times
Conducting a pre-flight inspection

The correct answer is: Having a visual observer present at all times

To operate a small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) under Part 107, the requirements include holding a valid remote pilot certificate, registering the drone, and conducting pre-flight inspections. While having a visual observer can be beneficial and enhance safety during operations, it is not mandated under Part 107 regulations. The pilot can operate the UAS without a visual observer, provided they maintain visual line-of-sight with the aircraft. The requirement for a valid sUAS license ensures that the pilot has met the necessary training and knowledge assessments. Similarly, having a registered drone is a legal requirement to confirm that the aircraft is accounted for within the appropriate regulatory framework. Pre-flight inspections are critical for ensuring that the drone is in safe working condition before each flight. In contrast, the option regarding the necessity of having a visual observer is not stipulated explicitly in the regulations, making it the correct answer for this question.
