Question 1 of 10
Before conducting a small UA operation during civil twilight or at night, § 107.29 requires the aircraft to be equipped with —
Why: 14 CFR 107.29(a)(2)/(b) requires lighted anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles, with a flash rate sufficient to avoid a collision, for operations at night or during civil twilight. AC 107-2A §§ 5.7.1-5.7.2 (p. 5-4) restate this equipment requirement.
- Invents a transponder requirement; Part 107 small UA are not required to carry transponders — the night/twilight equipment rule in § 107.29 is about anti-collision lighting.
- Confuses landing lights, which Part 107 does not require, with the anti-collision lighting § 107.29 actually requires to be visible for 3 statute miles.
