They must allow the requested test or inspection.

- Only a registration photo
- Only a written interview
Why: The FAA Administrator may request a test or inspection to determine compliance. The duty can apply to the drone, remote PIC, control manipulator, owner, operator, and visual observer.
Huh, didn't know that: Required documents, records, and reports must also be made available to the FAA upon request.
Why did the drone study for inspection? It wanted to pass with flying colors.
