FAA Part 107 Drone Practice Test

A small unmanned aircraft must be registered with the FAA regardless of the age of the owner. The requirement for registration is primarily based on the weight of the aircraft rather than the age of the owner. Specifically, any drone weighing over 0.55 pounds (250 grams) must be registered, and this applies to all owners, regardless of age.

The statement regarding the owner's age does not accurately reflect the regulations set by the FAA, which require registration based solely on the aircraft's weight and operational purpose, not the age of the individual who owns the drone. Even minors can have drones registered, provided they have a responsible adult managing the registration process.

Furthermore, the options relating to the owner's driving status or the aircraft's weight (over 55 pounds) do not dictate the registration requirement as outlined by the FAA regulations. Thus, the correct answer underscores the universal requirement for registration that applies to all owners of qualifying drones.
