Under 14 CFR § 107.36, a small unmanned aircraft —
Why: 14 CFR § 107.36 states: "A small unmanned aircraft may not carry hazardous material. For purposes of this section, the term hazardous material is defined in 49 CFR 171.8." This prohibition is absolute.
Assumes the hazardous-material prohibition is waivable like several other part 107 provisions, but § 107.205's list of regulations subject to waiver does not include § 107.36.
Confuses the unrelated Category 1 operations-over-people weight threshold (0.55 pounds, § 107.110(a)(1)) with the hazardous-material prohibition, which has no weight-based exception.
