Within how many days must a remote pilot report a serious-injury accident to the FAA?

10 calendar days.

  1. 5 calendar days
  2. 10 calendar days ✔
  3. 30 calendar days

Why: Section 107.9 requires a report no later than 10 calendar days after an operation causing serious injury or any loss of consciousness. Certain property damage also requires a report.

Huh, didn't know that: Any loss of consciousness counts, even if the person seems fine afterward.

The dad joke
Why do drone pilots keep a calendar on the fridge? Ten days goes by faster than a battery charge.
