Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Group 2 UAS?

The characteristic that is not associated with Group 2 UAS is that a pilot's license is required. In the context of UAS classifications, Group 2 generally includes systems that operate within specific performance parameters, such as operating below 3,500 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) and weighing between 21 to 55 pounds.

While Group 2 UAS is often utilized for various applications like surveying, the requirement for a pilot's license does not apply across the board. Many Group 2 UAS can be operated under the framework set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for remote pilots, which may involve specific certifications but does not necessarily mandate a traditional pilot's license as required for manned aircraft. Thus, while training and certification are indeed necessary, it differs from the standard requirements for piloting crewed aircraft.
