Ace Your 107
UA.V.C.K5

Most small UAS use the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz unlicensed radio frequency bands for the control link between the control station and the aircraft. AC 107-2A warns that operating in an area with many other wireless signals on these same bands, such as dense housing or office buildings, can lead to —

Why: AC 107-2A § B.6.1 explains that the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands are also used by wireless computer networks, and interference on these bands in areas with many wireless signals is a reported cause of loss of control (LOC) and fly-aways.

  • Misstates licensing rules; AC 107-2A § B.6.2 specifically identifies 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz as unlicensed bands that may be used freely without FCC approval.
  • Invents a link between frequency interference and the groundspeed limit; the 87-knot limit in part 107 is unrelated to RF interference.
