When flying an RPA, what is the maximum altitude generally permitted?

The maximum altitude generally permitted when flying a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) is 120 meters, or 400 feet, above ground level. This altitude is set to ensure the safety of the airspace and to maintain a safe distance from manned aircraft, which typically operate at higher altitudes.

Flying an RPA within this altitude limit helps to reduce the risk of collisions with manned aircraft, which is a crucial consideration for airspace management. Moreover, staying within the 120-meter limit allows operators to conduct operations while adhering to the regulations set forth by aviation authorities, which are designed to protect both the RPA operators and other users of the airspace.

The other altitude options exceed this limit and are not in line with the standard regulation for RPA operation, which preference must be observed for safety and compliance reasons in aviation operations.
