Who is ultimately responsible for preventing hazardous situations before an accident occurs in UAS operations?

  1. Visual Observer

  2. Federal Aviation Administration

  3. Remote Pilot in Command

  4. Air Traffic Control

The correct answer is: Remote Pilot in Command

The Remote Pilot in Command holds ultimate responsibility for the safe operation of the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) and is tasked with preventing hazardous situations before an accident occurs. This individual has the knowledge, skills, and authority to make critical decisions regarding the flight, including assessing risks, conducting pre-flight checks, and adhering to regulations and operational guidelines. While the other roles, such as Visual Observers and Air Traffic Control, can assist in maintaining situational awareness and providing guidance, they do not possess the same level of accountability for safety outcomes in UAS operations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) establishes regulations and guidelines but does not get involved in day-to-day operational decisions made by the pilot. Thus, the Remote Pilot in Command's training and authority make them the key figure in ensuring all safety measures are taken to avoid hazardous situations during flights.
