In a place of assembly of over 100 people, there is a projector with a flexible cord that goes above a drop ceiling and plugged into a receptacle. The receptacle is in large unfiinished attic with access from stairs to the attic.
Since the cord can easily be accessed and inspected, is this code legal? If not, can we move the receptacle flush in the ceiling tile so the projector cord is not above the drop ceiling. This is provided that the receptacle box is solidly mounted above the ceiling.

That would be compliant.
