May a Part 107 drone drop an object, like a small package, during flight?

Yes, if it creates no undue hazard to people or property.

  1. Never
  2. Only below 50 feet
  3. Yes, if it creates no undue hazard ✔

Why: Section 107.23 bans dropping an object in a way that creates an undue hazard to persons or property. A safe drop is allowed.

Huh, didn't know that: The same section bans flying carelessly or recklessly in a way that endangers life or property.

My drone dropped off a pizza. Best delivery ever, it arrived with a little extra lift.
