Your company sponsors a race team. Can you fly your drone inside the race's TFR?

No, the TFR applies to everyone without authorization.

  1. Yes, because you are a sponsor
  2. Yes, if spectators are notified
  3. No, not without FAA authorization ✔

Why: Part 107 requires remote pilots to comply with temporary flight restrictions. Being a sponsor does not exempt you, so you need a waiver or authorization.

Huh, didn't know that: The FAA says violating a TFR can lead to warnings, fines, or certificate suspension or revocation.

The dad joke
Why did the sponsor's drone stay in the trailer? Sponsorship gets you a hat, not a hall pass.
