Under Part 107, a drone operator can conduct flight at what altitude relative to ground level when flying above a structure whose top is 300 feet AGL?

• A. 600 feet AGL
• B. 400 feet AGL
• C. 800 feet AGL
• D. 1000 feet AGL

Answer: (A)

Part 107 sets a general maximum of 400 feet above ground level. When you’re operating within 400 feet of a structure, you may fly up to 400 feet above the top of that structure. So, if the structure’s top is 300 feet AGL, the highest allowed altitude above ground in that area is 300 + 400 = 700 feet AGL. The options do not include 700 feet, so none of them matches the exact limit. Among the given choices, a height like 600 feet AGL would be safely below the true maximum of 700 feet AGL.
