• A (13 years of age or older): You must be at least 13 years old to register an unmanned aircraft with the FAA. If the owner is less than 13 years old, registration must be completed by someone who is at least 13 years old.

Incorrect Answers:

• B (All persons must register their small UA): This statement is not entirely accurate. There are specific conditions where an owner may not be required to register their small UA, as explained in the provided information.
• C (If the owner does not have a valid United States driver’s license): Answer C is irrelevant because neither Part 47 nor Part 48 requires a valid US driver’s license for small UA registration.

Correct Answer:

• A (The owner is less than 13 years of age): A small unmanned aircraft must be registered by its owner using the legal name of its owner unless the owner is less than 13 years of age. If the owner is less than 13 years of age, then the small unmanned aircraft must be registered by a person who is at least 13 years of age.

Incorrect Answers:

A (Inside the battery compartment): While certain information may be found in the battery compartment, the serial number is typically located elsewhere on the aircraft.
C (In the user manual provided with the drone): The serial number is a physical identifier on the aircraft itself and is not typically listed only in the user manual.
Correct Answer:

B (On the exterior surface of the aircraft): According to FAA regulations, when utilizing either standard remote identification or a broadcast module, the small unmanned aircraft’s serial number must be visibly listed on the exterior surface of the aircraft. This ensures that the serial number is easily accessible for identification purposes, promoting compliance with registration and tracking requirements. Placing the serial number on the exterior allows authorities to identify and verify the unmanned aircraft quickly, contributing to overall safety and regulatory adherence.

Incorrect Answers:

• a) Attach a GPS tracking device to the sUAS: While GPS tracking may be beneficial for certain purposes, it is not a specific requirement before flying a registered sUAS.
