You notice a cruise ship in the distance with people on the deck. You fly out to get a top-down view of the deck while the boat is getting in port. Is this legal under Part 107, assuming you are certified and current?

  1. Yes, the deck is considered a closed site.
  2. Yes, as long as I have a Category 1 or 2 sUAS equipped with Remote ID.
  3. No, the people on the deck are not on notice.

    No, the people on the deck are not on notice.

    (This is tricky. A ship is considered a moving vehicle, so a Category 1 or 2 sUAS is not enough, you must either: – remain within or over a closed/restricted access site and everyone in moving vehicles inside the area must be on notice, or – The UAS must not maintain sustained flight over moving vehicles.)
