40 A state wants to promote agricultural drone adoption without weakening safety standards. Which initiative best balances both goals?

41 A drone has an empty mass of 24.6 kg, but its certified maximum all-up weight, including payload, is 25.4 kg. Under India's Drone Rules, 2021, how is it classified?

42 Two drones have maximum all-up weights of exactly 250 g and exactly 2 kg. Which classification is correct?

43 Which aircraft can rely specifically on the type-certification exemption for a model remotely piloted aircraft system?

44 A manufacturer obtains a type certificate for a new small-drone design and produces 80 identical units. Which conclusion correctly distinguishes certification from registration?

45 A company sells a registered drone and physically hands it over with its UIN marking intact. What is still required before the registration record properly reflects the new owner?

46 A registered drone is destroyed beyond repair, but its owner merely removes the external UIN plate. Which statement is correct?

47 A site is 10 km from the perimeter of an operational airport. Assuming no special map restriction, which proposed flight can use the green-zone treatment without prior air-traffic permission?

48 A remote pilot downloads the airspace map in the morning, but the area is changed from green to red before an afternoon flight. What is the legally sound response?

49 Which operation requires a remote pilot certificate under the general exemption applicable to micro drones?

50 Assuming each applicant completes the prescribed training, which person satisfies the standard eligibility conditions for a remote pilot credential?

51 A flight academy employs experienced instructors and designs its own advanced syllabus but has not received DGCA authorization. What is the strongest regulatory conclusion?

52 A trainee successfully completes an approved course and receives a remote pilot certificate from an authorized RPTO. Which requirement remains independently applicable to a later commercial flight?

53 Which proposed R&D flight most clearly satisfies both the eligible-entity and location conditions for the research, development, and testing exemption?

54 For a qualifying R&D entity operating under the prescribed green-zone and control conditions, which bundle is covered by the special exemption?
