Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. How to verify and change the mode or configuration of the system
§107.120(b)(2) requires remote pilot operating instructions that address, at a minimum, a system description, modifications that will not change eligibility, and instructions for how to verify and change the mode or configuration if they are variable.
- A. Correct. §107.120(b)(2)(iii) requires instructions for verifying and changing a variable mode or configuration.
- B. Incorrect. §107.120(b)(2) lists a system description, allowable modifications, and mode instructions, not a list of pilots.
- C. Incorrect. A flight log is not among the minimum contents listed in §107.120(b)(2).
