Can a UAS be operated from a moving vehicle?

Operating a UAS from a moving vehicle is permissible under certain conditions. The key consideration is safety; as long as the operator can maintain control of the UAS and adhere to all applicable regulations, it is allowed. This includes ensuring that the vehicle is not in motion in a way that would compromise the safety of the flight operation.

When flying from a moving vehicle, the operator must also ensure that they are following any local laws regarding UAS operations, as well as FAA regulations such as maintaining visual line of sight, avoiding populated areas, and not flying over people, among others. These regulations are in place to ensure the safety of both the operator and the public.

The reasoning behind the incorrect options relates to specific limitations or misconceptions. While it is true that flying from a moving vehicle must comply with regulations, the initiation of flight is not strictly limited to specific airspaces or the requirement for the vehicle to be stationary. Thus, ensuring safe operation while complying with all relevant regulations is the pivotal aspect of flying a UAS from a moving vehicle.
