FAA 107 FAA 107 Radio Communication & ATC Interaction 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: How can a remote pilot request airspace authorization when LAANC is unavailable?
- Send an email to the local FSDO
- Submit a request through FAA DroneZone (Correct answer)
- Fly without authorization in Class G only
- Use a VHF radio to self-announce
Correct answer: Submit a request through FAA DroneZone
FAA DroneZone accepts manual airspace authorization requests when LAANC coverage is not available for a given location.
Question 2: What does TFR stand for?
- Temporary Flight Restriction (Correct answer)
- Traffic Flow Route
- Total Flight Range
- Transponder Frequency Requirement
Correct answer: Temporary Flight Restriction
TFRs are Temporary Flight Restrictions that prohibit or limit flight in designated airspace for safety, security, or national interest reasons.
Question 3: If an ATC instruction conflicts with the safety of an sUAS operation, the remote pilot should:
- Follow ATC instructions regardless of safety
- Ignore ATC completely
- Comply if safe, otherwise notify ATC of inability to comply (Correct answer)
- Land immediately without notifying ATC
Correct answer: Comply if safe, otherwise notify ATC of inability to comply
Remote pilots must comply with ATC instructions unless doing so compromises safety, in which case they must promptly notify ATC.
Question 4: Which VHF frequency is commonly used for UNICOM at uncontrolled airports?
- 121.5 MHz
- 122.8 MHz (Correct answer)
- 123.0 MHz
- 118.3 MHz
Correct answer: 122.8 MHz
122.8 MHz is the most common UNICOM frequency used at uncontrolled airports for pilot position self-announcements.
Question 5: What information should a remote pilot gather before operating near a Class C airport?
- The airport's food concessions schedule
- Current ATIS information and ATC authorization status (Correct answer)
- Total number of runways only
- Tower operating hours only
Correct answer: Current ATIS information and ATC authorization status
Before operating near Class C airspace, remote pilots must check ATIS for current conditions and confirm proper ATC authorization is in place.
Question 6: Which type of airspace requires only notification — not authorization — for sUAS operations?
- Class B
- Class C
- Class D
- Class G (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Class G
Class G is uncontrolled airspace where sUAS may operate without ATC authorization, though all other Part 107 rules still apply.
