2023)
Part 107 applies to:
A) Civil and public small UAS operations
B) Civil small UAS operations
C) Public UAS operations
B) Civil small UAS operations
A small UA causes an accident and your crew member loses consciousness.
When do you report the accident?
A) No accidents need to be reported.
B) When requested by the UA owner.
C) Within 10 days of the accident.
C) Within 10 days of the accident
What increases the load factor on a fixed wing airplane?
A) Power off stall
B) Level turn
C) Steady state climb
B) Level turn
[When an aircraft goes into a level turn, the load factor on the wing is increased. This is
because in order to not lose altitude, the pilot has to "pull back" on the controls to keep
the nose up, and this increases the stress on the airplane]
Registration requirements for small unmanned aircraft systems. Under what
condition would a small UA not have to be registered before it is operated in the
United States?
A) When the aircraft weighs less than .55 pounds on takeoff, including everything
that is on-board or attached to the aircraft.
B) When the aircraft has a takeoff weight that is more than .55 pounds, but less
than 55 pounds, not including fuel and necessary attachments.
C. All small UAS need to be registered regardless of the weight of the aircraft
before, during, or after the flight.
A) When the aircraft weighs less than .55 pounds on takeoff, including everything that is
on-board or attached to the aircraft.
Registration requirements for small unmanned aircraft systems. According to 14
CFR part 48, when must a person register a small UA with the Federal Aviation
Administration?
A. The owner is less than 13 years of age.
B. All persons must register their small UA.
C. If the owner does not have a valid United States driver's license.
,A. The owner is less than 13 years of age.
[48.25 says, "(b) A small unmanned aircraft must be registered by its owner using the
legal name of its owner, unless the owner is less than 13 years of age. If the owner is
less than 13 years of age, then the small unmanned aircraft must be registered by a
person who is at least 13 years of age." Keep in mind that they are trying to make you
know Part 48. There are other answers as to why a person could not register via Part 47
such as being a foreign citizen.]
A small UA must be operated in a manner which...
A) does not endanger the life or property of another.
B) requires more than one visual observer.
C) never exceeds 200 feet AGL
A) does not endanger the life or property of another.
After having dinner and wine, your client asks you to go outside to demonstrate
the small UAs capabilities. You must..
A) pass a self-administered sobriety test before operating a small UA.
B) not operate a small UA within 8 hours of consuming any alcoholic beverage.
C) ensure that your visual observer has not consumed any alcoholic beverage in
the previous 12 hours.
B) not operate a small UA within 8 hours of consuming any alcoholic beverage.
Daylight operation. According to 14 CFR part 107, what is required to operate a
small UA within 30 minutes after official sunset?
A. Use of anti-collision lights.
B. Must be operated in a rural area.
C. Use of a transponder.
A. Use of anti-collision lights.
During a flight of your small UA, you observe a hot air balloon entering the area.
You should
A) yield the right-of-way to the hot air balloon.
B) ensure the UA passes below, above, or ahead of the balloon.
C) expect the hot air balloon to climb above you altitude.
A) yield the right-of-way to the hot air balloon.
[107.37 says, "(a) Each small unmanned aircraft must yield the right of way to all
aircraft, airborne vehicles, and launch and reentry vehicles. Yielding the right of way
means that the small unmanned aircraft must give way to the aircraft or vehicle and may
not pass over, under, or ahead of it unless well clear."]
Prior authorization required for operation in certain airspace. According to 14
CFR part 107, how may a remote pilot operate an unmanned aircraft in class C
airspace?
A. The remote pilot must have prior authorization from the Air Traffic Control
, (ATC) facility having jurisdiction over that airspace.
B. The remote pilot must monitor the Air Traffic Control (ATC) frequency from
launch to recovery.
C. The remote pilot must contact the Air Traffic Control (ATC) facility after
launching the unmanned aircraft.
A. The remote pilot must have prior authorization from the Air Traffic Control (ATC)
facility having jurisdiction over that airspace.
[You are going to have to have an airspace waiver. §107.41 says, "No person may
operate a small unmanned aircraft in Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace or within the
lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an airport
unless that person has prior authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC)." The FAA is
handling those authorizations via a waiver process currently. Let me know if you need
one! ]
(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 78.) You have been hired to use your small UAS
to inspect the railroad tracks from Blencoe (SE of Sioux City) to Onawa. Will ATC
authorization be required?
A) Yes, Onawa is in Class D airspace that is designated for an airport.
B) No, your entire flight is in Class G airspace.
C) Yes, you must contact the Onawa control tower to operate within 5 miles of the
airport.
B) No, your entire flight is in Class G airspace.
Preflight familiarization, inspection, and actions for aircraft operations. According
to 14 CFR part 107, who is responsible for determining the performance of a small
unmanned aircraft?
A. Remote pilot-in-command
B. Manufacturer.
C. Owner or operator.
A. Remote pilot-in-command.
[See 107.19. Learn the short version of this regulation. “If anything goes wrong, it is
most likely the PIC’s fault.” You shouldn’t let anyone force you into flying somewhere or
doing something you feel is unsafe. You are getting the whacking if anything goes
wrong, not them.]
According to 14 CFR part 107, what is the maximum groundspeed for a small UA?
A) 87 knots.
B) 87 mph.
C) 100 knots.
A) 87 knots. [87 knots is 100 MPH]
(Refer to FAA-CT-8080-2H, Figure 78.) You have been contracted to inspect
towers located approximately 4NM southwest of the Sioux Gateway (SUX) airport
operating an unmanned aircraft. What is the maximum altitude above ground
level (AGL) that you are authorized to operate over the top of the towers?
