SITE X infield: Who can be at controls?

• A. Instructors only
• B. Students only
• C. Any licensed pilot
• D. Any person cleared by the instructor

Answer: (A)

At infield SITE X, the person at the controls must be the instructor. This setup keeps safety front and center in a potentially crowded, high-hazard environment by ensuring immediate, competent oversight and the ability to take action if needed. Instructors are the ones designated to supervise student operations in this context and are authorized to hold the pilot‑in‑command responsibilities for the现场 procedures. A licensed pilot, by itself, isn’t automatically authorized to operate there, since site-specific control authority isn’t granted by a general license. Similarly, allowing someone merely cleared by the instructor would conflict with the rule that only instructors may be at the controls. Students may fly under supervision, but not in this infield scenario.
