On solo flights, what is the policy regarding taking pictures or video recording?

During solo flights, the pilot is fully responsible for the flight with no instructor on board to supervise. Photography or video recording introduces a distraction and can pull attention away from critical tasks like maintaining airspeed, altitude, and situational awareness. It can also physically interfere with the controls or equipment, increasing risk in an unexpected situation. Because there’s no instructor present to monitor the activity or provide immediate safety oversight, this activity is prohibited to keep the focus completely on safe flying. The other options assume an instructor’s presence or permission process that doesn’t apply on solo flights, so they’re not appropriate.
