Who is responsible for briefing participants about emergency procedures during a commercial small UA operation?

The visual observer
The remote Pilot in Command (PIC)
The FAA representative
The owner of the drone

The correct answer is: The remote Pilot in Command (PIC)

The remote Pilot in Command (PIC) has the primary responsibility for ensuring that all participants in a commercial small unmanned aircraft (UA) operation are briefed about emergency procedures. This accountability stems from the PIC's role in overseeing the safety and operational integrity of the flight. The PIC is in charge of the entire flight operation, which includes making critical decisions, managing the crew, and ensuring that everyone is aware of the protocols for handling emergencies. Proper briefing before the operation not only prepares participants to react appropriately in case of an emergency but also enhances overall safety during the flight. While other individuals, such as visual observers or drone owners, may play supporting roles, it is ultimately the PIC who is tasked with conducting the briefing. This ensures that all necessary safety measures are communicated effectively, reflecting their leadership role in the operation.
