What are the requirements for operating a UAS at night under Part 107?

The requirements for operating a UAS at night under Part 107 specifically state that the UAS must be equipped with anti-collision lighting so that it remains visible to others and can be safely operated in low-light conditions. This lighting generally needs to be capable of being seen for at least three statute miles. Additionally, the remote pilot in command must be current and appropriately certified, meaning they must hold a remote pilot certificate and have completed the necessary training and testing. This ensures that pilots have the requisite knowledge and skills to operate safely in nighttime conditions.

The other options do not fully meet the established requirements or introduce unnecessary conditions: while GPS tracking and night vision can be useful, they are not mandated under Part 107 for night operations. Similarly, the presence of a second operator is not a requirement; operators can fly solo. Lastly, while registration of the UAS is required, simply having a registration does not address the specific safety and certification standards implemented for nighttime operations.
