FAA 107 Drone Pilot Test #2

Question 1

The FAA requires which category of small unmanned aircraft to have an airworthiness certificate?

Accepted Answer

4

Answer

The FAA's Part 107 regulations generally state that small unmanned aircraft (sUAS) do not require an airworthiness certificate. However, for certain complex or higher-risk operations, or if a sUAS is type-certificated, an airworthiness certificate may be required. While 'Category 4' is not a standard Part 107 classification for airworthiness, it implies a specific type of sUAS or operation that falls outside the general exemption, thus necessitating an airworthiness certificate.

Question 2

A small UA must be managed in such a manner where

Accepted Answer

does not endanger the life or property of another. [Just looking at this. If you knew you one of these was correct, this is the most important of all 3 of them.]

Answer

Part 107.15(a) states that 'No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another.' This fundamental safety principle is paramount in all aviation operations, including sUAS. Ensuring the drone is operated safely and responsibly to prevent harm is the most critical requirement for remote pilots.

Question 3

Moisture is added into the air by:

Accepted Answer

evaporation and sublimation.

Answer

Evaporation is the process where liquid water turns into water vapor and enters the atmosphere, while sublimation is when ice or snow directly changes into water vapor without first melting. Both of these phase changes add moisture (water vapor) into the air. This increases the air's humidity, contributing to cloud formation and other weather phenomena.

Question 4

You've been assigned to survey an area that falls under Class C airspace. Which of the following must be completed prior to beginning the operations?

Accepted Answer

Request for airspace authorization via LAANC or the FAA DroneZone

Answer

Operating a small unmanned aircraft in Class C airspace requires prior authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC). The FAA provides streamlined methods for obtaining this authorization, primarily through the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) system or the FAA DroneZone portal. This process ensures safe integration of sUAS into controlled airspace by allowing ATC to manage all aircraft movements.

Question 5

What value does the Weather Depiction Chart have for the pilot?

Accepted Answer

For determining general weather conditions on which to base flight planning.

Answer

The Weather Depiction Chart provides a broad overview of observed weather conditions across the United States at a specific time. It graphically displays VFR, MVFR, and IFR conditions, along with frontal systems and areas of precipitation. This allows pilots to quickly assess general weather patterns and make informed decisions for flight planning, understanding the overall meteorological situation.
