Wrong-answer review

• B. To offer a manual review process for all airspace authorization requests.: The cited rule is request near-real-time controlled-airspace authorization through LAANC; this choice changes or omits that requirement.
• C. To replace the need for any airspace authorizations for drone operations.: All drone operations in controlled airspace require authorization, LAANC doesn't eliminate this.
• D. To provide a platform for drone pilots to share flight logs and data.: LAANC is solely for airspace authorization; it doesn't handle data sharing.
