Immediate Notification of Inadvertent Controlled Airspace Entry

The pilot of a remotely piloted aircraft must immediately notify the appropriate ATS unit or user agency if the aircraft is no longer under control and enters or is likely to enter controlled airspace.

Original regulatory text

A pilot of a remotely piloted aircraft shall ensure that the appropriate ATS unit or user agency is notified immediately any time the aircraft is no longer under the pilot’s control and inadvertently enters or is likely to enter into controlled airspace.
