Is operating a sUAS from a moving vehicle allowed under Part 107?

• A. Yes, always
• B. Yes, with a waiver
• C. No, not allowed
• D. Only in rural areas

Answer: (C)

Under Part 107, you must operate the sUAS from a stable, ground-based position and keep the aircraft within your visual line of sight. Being on a moving vehicle makes it extremely hard to see, control, and react to hazards, and it introduces instability from wind and vibrations. For safety and control reasons, operating a small unmanned aircraft from a moving vehicle is not permitted under Part 107. The other options imply exceptions that don’t exist for this rule, and the prohibition applies regardless of location.
