Multiple Choice

A remote pilot can fly sUAS under another aircraft as part of a yield maneuver.

Explanation:
You must yield to manned aircraft and avoid any operation that could endanger them. Flying a small UAS under another aircraft would place the drone directly in the other aircraft’s flight path and expose it to wake turbulence, downdraft, and potential collision. That level of risk to both aircraft and people on the ground is not permitted under typical UAS rules. Even with waivers, this kind of maneuver would not be considered a safe or acceptable operation, so the correct stance is that it is not allowed.
