A Part 107 operator wants to fly a sUAS over a stadium during a live sporting event. Which regulation is most directly applicable?
Answer: SFAR 108 or applicable TFR under 14 CFR 91.145
Live sporting events typically generate TFRs under 14 CFR 91.145 that prohibit all aircraft, including UAS, within a defined radius during the event.
Under Part 107, what is the minimum age to qualify for a Remote Pilot Certificate?

Part 107.61(a) specifies that an applicant must be at least 16 years of age to qualify for a Remote Pilot Certificate with sUAS rating.
When must a remote PIC report an accident to the FAA if a person other than the crew requires medical attention beyond first aid?

A sUAS remote PIC receives a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) indicating a 3-nautical-mile TFR around a wildfire. The PIC is 3.5 NM away. What is the correct action?
Answer: Contact the Incident Commander for a waiver before flying
Disaster/wildfire TFRs under 91.137 may still require coordination with the on-scene Incident Commander even for operations outside the formal boundary, and no LAANC access applies; the PIC at 3.5 NM should confirm with the IC.
