If a person approaches your flight area, what should you do?

• A. Continue flight as planned.
• B. Wait until they pass and then resume.
• C. Stop or adjust flight to maintain a safe distance and avoid risk.
• D. Move the drone closer to talk to them.

Answer: (C)

When someone approaches your flight area, safety comes first. Stop or adjust your drone’s flight to maintain a safe distance and reduce risk to that person and others nearby. This may mean lowering altitude, moving away, or even landing and waiting until the area is clear before resuming. Continuing as planned could bring you into proximity with people and create a real chance of harm or loss of control. Waiting for them to pass without adjusting also risks unsafe conditions if they move unpredictably, and moving the drone closer to talk would increase that risk. By stopping or changing course to keep a safe distance, you maintain control and protect everyone involved.
