The person operating a recreational drone is responsible for flight safety and staying within altitude limits.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if required by local rules
• D. Not necessarily

Answer: (A)

Operator responsibility for flight safety and staying within altitude limits. The person in control of the drone must ensure safe operation and keep the flight within the allowed altitudes, such as the common 400 feet above ground level limit for recreational UAS in the United States, unless an exception applies (like flying within a structure or with authorized airspace permissions). This duty comes from being the one actively piloting the aircraft and making decisions that affect safety and regulatory compliance. The other options imply exceptions or lack of responsibility, which isn’t accurate—the operator must always fly safely and obey altitude restrictions.
