In the event of an accident involving your drone, what must you do?

In the event of an accident involving your drone, the requirement to report it to the FAA within 10 days if it causes injury or damage is grounded in regulatory compliance and safety protocols. This reporting requirement ensures that any incidents are documented and can be reviewed by the FAA, which plays a crucial role in maintaining air traffic safety and regulating drone operation standards.

By reporting accidents, the FAA can collect data about incidents and trends involving drones, which can lead to better regulations and safety guidelines in the future. This accountability enhances airborne safety for both drone operators and the public. Failure to adhere to such reporting regulations could result in penalties or further legal implications.

While there are other considerations regarding how to address the specific circumstances of an accident, such as informing your insurance company or seeking private resolution, these do not satisfy the regulatory requirement laid out by the FAA. Therefore, option B is the appropriate response in the context of regulatory compliance when an accident occurs.
