What restriction is placed on RPA operation near aerodromes?

The restriction regarding RPA (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) operation near aerodromes primarily ensures that these aircraft do not interfere with the established traffic patterns of manned aircraft. This is crucial for maintaining safety in the airspace close to busy airports where aircraft are taking off and landing. By adhering to established traffic patterns, RPA pilots help prevent potential collisions and ensure that the operational integrity of the aerodrome is preserved.

Options that suggest special permissions, flying above certain altitudes, or specific distance restrictions may apply in different contexts but do not specifically address the critical aspect of traffic pattern interference. The focus on traffic patterns emphasizes the collaborative nature of airspace use, highlighting the importance of RPA operators maintaining awareness of and compliance with the protocols established for manned aviation in these busy areas.
