We can (and clearly do...me as much as anyone else) pontificate about what makes sense and explore grey area scenarios ad nauseam, but when that collision happens, what we think won't matter a bit. The FAA inspector gets to decide who is to blame.
If I was involved, whether as a hobbyist or a commercial RPIC, I hope I will have been operating within their guidelines. At least that's the best chance I have to avoid potentially-severe consequences.
Just like anybody else, I have pushed the boundaries and occasionally still do. I'm trying to remind myself here more than anyone else. I can't afford to have my Part 107 license revoked. [emoji41]
