If asked, what must a recreational flyer provide to law enforcement or the FAA?

• A. All of the above
• B. Proof of test passage
• C. Proof of registration, if registration is required
• D. Proof of purchase

Answer: (A)

If a law enforcement officer or the FAA asks, you should be prepared to show documentation that you’ve met the required safety steps and that your aircraft is legally accounted for. The proof of test passage shows you’ve completed the knowledge requirements for safe operation. Proof of registration confirms the drone is officially registered with the FAA if registration is required. Some situations may also involve confirming ownership, which is where proof of purchase can come into play. Because officials may request any combination of these documents to verify your eligibility and the aircraft’s status, the best answer reflects that all of these items could be required.
